    soldering paste? what is it called?

    Hey Guys, Amateur hobbyist here, improved my soldering skill very well over the past couple of years. But I am running out of that sticky darkish reddish paste thingy, I think its called resin or soldering flux for the correct term? I really like using that over my flux pen as it solders the wires real well and fast, even though I am using the good solder I still prefer using some of the cream. I ordered some from ebay but it was a solid not a paste, looking up on YouTube it seems people use the solid to make the paste themselves.

    I got quite confused looking as ebay as sole say soldering as in Blazing paste! Could anybody guide me what the paste is exactly and can I get some off ebay?

          Laptop overheating after replacement thermal paste
          by Veyron7887
          Hi. I have Asus X55C laptop from year 2013. It has i3-2328M CPU. I replaced stock thermal paste with high quality thermal paste. Before thermal paste replacement, I measured CPU temperature Around 65-70 degrees Celcius with stock thermal paste. If after the replace thermal paste, I measured CPU temperature around 80-84 degrees Celcius and fan don't stop when system is idle. I replaced the thermal paste several times but still did not change. Where is the problem?

          Elitebook 840 G5 Bios Chip Soldering Question
          by Azurain
          Hi everyone,

          I have an HP Elitebook 840 G5 that I am trying to get working again. I've removed the front bios chip (the 32mb one) and have run it through HP unlocker already. I've uploaded and verified the new bin, but am now experiencing an issue that has led me to believe I've been soldering the chip back to the motherboard incorrectly.

          Essentially, after re-soldering the chip back into its place and reassembling the laptop, the charging light immediately flashes orange and white and then shifts to a solid white. The capslock and numlock lights blink seven times...

          What LED's to Buy To Replace Backlight LED's and What Solder with LED's
          by Tarot Superstars
          Hello.

          I changed the led strips on my Hitachi 32 inch.
          The TV is now ok since I have already replaced any capacitors that needed replacing.

          I have also bought a spare set of LED strips for the tv also.

          I want to be able to replace singular LED's in the LED strips if I need to, but I am not sure what value LED package to buy from Ebay in the UK.

          The LED strips I bought were:
          Replacement Backlight Array LED Strip Bar For Hitachi 32HB6J61U 32HBT41U 32" TV

          On ebay I have a choice of singular LED's with voltage and...

          Can thermal paste cause corrosion?
          by caspian
          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...
