Just tried the water test, looks like pipes are working. Placed the grill in a mug with a hot water and CPU pad became hot almost instantly (GPU - not so much). I don't know maybe they are just not that conductive as they used to be. I'll wait for the replacement too.

Maybe its the GPU part that is causing you troubles?
They should be warm equally

Try the finger test by switching on the laptop and blocking the fan from moving with a screwdriver ,the grill should get hot in less than 30seconds ,mine doesnt get hot but warm but I manged to get a similar laptop model and it does get hot .
In my case heatsink is at fault.

I also managed to upgrade cpu too since I bought the heatsink with a cpu and swapped the original t2390 with t8100 penryn and runs 35º at idle and max temp I have seen is 50º
