Help! How do you access processor in Compaq IPAQ desktop?

[Kwad Guy]

I've found myself with a Compaq Ipaq *DESKTOP*. This
is their kinda cool looking, not-expandable 810e based
super small system.

They seemingly don't expect you to ever upgrade the
processor, which in this case is a PIII 500Mhz. But I'd
like too, and I know the 810e board will support at least
up to a 733Mhz processor with the supplied BIOS.

The question is: How do you get access to the chip?
It is not clear to me how to gain access to the chip,
and the documentation doesn't offer any help...

Has anyone done this that can offer me instructions?

Thanks,

Kwad

It's actually very easy to do. Remove the right side panel (with the HD, not the multibay) by pushing down on the lever at the top, and tilting it off. Remove memory, Remove the HD. Remove screws + Chassis access panel, remove real time clock, remove processor.

Here is the link to the specific document and pictures:
