im trying to drop a processor in a non Zero Installation Force socket in a laptop... is there a proper way to do so?
 
Damn this is a new one for me .... AFAIK, all socketA's have a lever of some type (in fact every single non-slot chip ive encountered since ZIF was made has a lever of some sort) ... of course i supoose you could gravity-drop it in and use the force of the HSF to hold it in place .... pending that, Ive got nothing :)
 
How did you manage to do that? (if the answer is "excessive force" then you shouldnt have done that)
 
nope, it broke off when i was trying to see if the upper plate of the socket would move at all... lol... it turns on for a second and shuts off.... problem maybe?
 
Code: 
 Its a laptop, theres no room for a lever.

if you can get a cpu in there, there's plenty of room for a spindly little lever :)


does the socket spring from side to side? be very careful with trying that. I was thinking that the socket might be sprung loaded and thats what keeps the cpu in.... however, noting that the cpu is now broken i might be a little late.
 
most laptops do have zif sockets if the CPU comes out. This doesn't mean the zif socket opens via a lever. Some have a slot for a flat tip screwdriver and some you have to turn a small screw to open.
