Abstract
A system and method of dissipating heat form electronic components in an electronic device is disclosed. The apparatus includes a retaining device having a cavity extending upwardly a predetermined distance from a lower surface of the casing. A spring is seated within the cavity such that a lower portion of the spring protrudes outwardly a predetermined distance from the lower surface of the casing. A heatsink is positioned below a heat generating component such that the spring of the retaining device forces the heat generating component against the heatsink.
