      that's why I always replace a pad with a new pad and never a copper shim, with distorted gaps like that a shim is useless

        Ouch. Let me guess:

          Same here, same rationale. If there wasn't a need for a pad's "squish", then a pad wouldn't have been used.

            lol, someone trying to use a penny or some sort in this laptop. Doing it wrong, though!

            I, however, would never have done this.
            Recovering a BEFSR41 v1 and v2 router from solid red DIAG Light
            I have two v2s and one v1.

            I am still looking at these boards nearly every day.

            What I'm doing: Planning an upgrade of my mining setup from Block Erupters to Red Furys. Though, if the Block Erupters don't sell, I will keep using them for a while.

              Maybe that's why the HP Compaq Athlon II laptop I was working on back in April shut down once under a light load!

                Metod for removing glued heatsink from fragile component
                by harp
                I have peltir element glued to heatsink with something thick and sticky like putty... it cant be separate with force or heat without risk of breaking ceramic or damaged semiconductor layers due to force (eg if try twisted, pulled, lifted)... method that I am using is a single thread for needle (thin and firm thread of pure polyester that cant break with bare hands without glowes), and using it like a saw between heatsink and peltir. I holding a heatsink with knee against table. It slowly cut throug putty and release glued parts. It is slow proces, but preserve undamaged component and heatsink....

                Seeking Advice on Enhancing Heatsink for Main Processor on SAMSUNG TV Motherboard
                by Ven
                Hello everyone,

                I'm looking to upgrade the heatsink on the main processor of my TV's motherboard for better cooling performance.

                The current heatsink is a square-shaped one (2.8cm x 2.8cn) with a basic design, and I believe a more efficient heatsink could help with thermal management and potentially extend the life of the TV.

                I'd appreciate any advice on the best type of heatsink to use, specific product recommendations, and tips for installation.

                If you've done a similar upgrade, I'd love to hear about your experience and any challenges you...

                by harp
                I have RX26PG2 graphic card with incomplete original heatsink, only aluminium plate... but in original solution it look like such bad termal design that I asking if is proper fanless heatsink be adequate replacement ot better... what you think? Till powering on, it is propper hot......

                Sell or Shim Solar panels?
                by eccerr0r
                Well, due to my grid tie inverter not accepting high voltages, and the fact that the lions in my solar panels are 36V (72-cell) I think I need to stick with 72-cell.

                However I have a few smaller panels that are 36, 32, and two 30-cell. The 36 and 32 together run at 75% efficiency (and subtract more with additional inefficiencies) when running in parallel with the 72-cell panels. The kicker is that the two 30s... generate 0% power when connected in parallel(!)

                So now what to do with these small panels?

                I could sell them...

                Or I could shim them....
