Hi Justin, if I were to remove the motherboard and insert a new one using your procedure would I have to change anything in the bios or will just a physical switch do the thing.
I was following this guide normally but then I saw the last step... are you f***ing kidding me?! You DO NOT PRY OFF that chip!! It's a BGA connection and you WILL destroy it. If you need your CPU or GPU replaced, either buy a new motherboard or seek a professional's service that replaces chips like that. But yikes, an iFixit guide that's pretty coherent yet the last step implies removing the chip and damaging it... I must be hallucinating. If anyone did mindlessly follow this guide without prior experience... you have my deepest condolences.
