Dell Latitude - improved CPU bracket with four points?

Hi.

I saw a former post in which a lister decribed some type of cover/bracket that holds down a Dell laptop cpu on all four corners (the cpu only has screws in three corners). For the life of me, I can't find any other info on the internet about where to buy this. I have the typical problem with my otherwise excellent Dell laptop (Latitude D500) - try to turn on, and if it does start up, it eventually has the screen freeze after windows is loaded, and I have to force shut down by holding down the power button. Sometimes, it won't start up, but instead the lights blink. I am pretty sure the unseated cpu is the problem, because if I twist the bottom chassis of the laptop, it will start up (only to freeze a minute later when windows is loaded). I have found that if I constantly move the internal mouse, it will not freeze. As soon as I am motionless, it freezes. Also, last night I took the laptop apart, and fired it up while putting a little pressure on the CPU board, and the computer fired up.

Any advise, and the source for this legend of an improved CPU bracket that keeps it seated on all four corners, is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hello,

Here are a few parts I found:

Dell Latitude D500 CPU Heatsink Dell P/N 2N403 (also here and here on eBay)
Latitude D500 CPU Cooling Fan Dell P/N 4R197

I did not see anything in this service manual which refers to a CPU retention frame or bracket, although I only looked at the CPU-specific parts and not the entire manual.
