can't remove CPU

Hi!

I have a "wonderful" Gericom Notebook (Celeron 600).
Now, I bought a faster CPU (Pentium III 850).
But I have problems with removing the old.
It is a desktop CPU and has a 370 Socket.
There is a "open" sign on the Socket, and at the other side there is a "lock" sign, but I cant open it.
Here is a pic: http://www.edu.uni-klu.ac.at/~bmei [...] rum/sockel 370.jpg

I hope you can help me

You'd think if you were making links you could at least make it work.

OK, I tried it, but there is no move.

Haha
Nono, I repared a lot of things at my notebook.
I also have a PC in my car:

Well, I think, I'm not so bad

Thanks.
Hmm do you think, that I'll get an Answer when I write them about my problem?

Looks like they're still in the business (gericom that is), they just might help you. If they don't, Crashman will probably know how to remove the cpu. They also have a section on their website with info where you might find something.

Good luck!

From the picture it looks like you have already slid the slider to the "open" position, now you just need to grab ahold of the CPU and pull it out.
