How to remove a CPU from 7210gx???

Thread Starter 
I am having trouble trying to remove the cpu from my motherboard
I have the heatsink and fans removed, but unlike my desktop there is no lever to raise that would realease the chip from the socket

How do you get it to come out?

I do not want to break it

Thanks,
Chris

may be too late for a reply now, but on some laptop cpu, there is a slot for "open" and "lock". u need to insert a flat head device, if using a screw driver i recommend taping it first, then just push it to the direction of the shown arrows (either open or lock). look at it as HORIZONTAL sliding plate, and do NOT try to pry the CPU out, u will break the contact(s) underneath

cheers ...
