Re: Need to change thermal compound? How not to do it!
Wait, why are there two threads for this?
Perhaps we can have them merged??

Re: Need to change thermal compound? How not to do it!
Good catch, done
I noticed it today too, was confusing me at first because I wanted to show it to a friend but could not find the "first" thread..."The one who says it cannot be done should never interrupt the one who is doing it."Comment

Forgive me this is my first request for help on this forum, so if i've screwed up or not followed the rules i should have i apologise profusely.
I have a Dell Latitude 5570 that was randomly shutting down, on further investigation i found that the machine had been shutting down due to thermal events as noted by windows event viewer.
My investigations lead me to the dell diagnostics screen, where i found that there were two sensors out of range which had been causing the shutdowns, one of which was the GPU thermal sensor and the other the ambient sensor.

Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic... -
Dear members,
I have got an ordinary gray thermal paste that has no name/model on the box.
I put some of this thermal paste on a 128-pin QFP IC. A bit of this thermal paste was put on pins of the IC.
I tried to clean the pins by thinner but the thermal paste cannot be cleaned from the pins properly. because the pins are tiny and the thermal paste is stuck between them.
Is it possible that the thermal paste damages pins of the IC in long term by creating corrosion or something?
Is it safe to leave the thermal paste on the pins?
I guess the thermal paste... -
Hi all,
at firs, i hope this is the right place to post my question.
Im looking for a tool to change the bios logo.

Hello,
I have a Velodyne DPS-12 subwoofer that was making weird noises. Upon taking it apart, I noticed there was yellow glue all over the circuit board which had turned brown, so I scraped it all off and that fixed the problem. I used hot glue instead around the various components.
There was also one bulging capacitor, and another that must've been in a really hot location because the labelling looked like it was scorched. You can see in the picture the circuit board has discolored over time from this heat. Could either be from the MOSFET (with heatsink), or the resistor....
