Black glue - conductive

12-24-2010, 02:10 PM

This is a recently acquired Bestec ATX-250. Two pictures show a blob of glue used during the manufacturing process. The glue is in the red circle. Notice that the left half is black while the right half is brown. The brown side is due to heat and aging. The black colored glue is conductive. Black or dark colored glue is easy to spot, and a continuing problem if not removed. Black glue areas are often hard to take pictures of, but this one was right out in the open.

It's conductive because heat has probably caused it to carbonize.

Guide to transplant MEC1503 EC chip and EEPROM reprogamming for T14s gen 2 and X13 gen 2

by acedogblast

This is a guide that I am writing for helping others to replace their MEC1503 EC chip if it breaks (or to get around an inconvenient prompt to the BIOS). This forum has been extremely helpful to me so I would like to contribute to help others. I will tell you right now that this task is very difficult to do. You MUST have experience and tools to do precision micro-soldering, BGA reballing, trace repair, and general laptop repair skills.

There are some specialty tools needed to do this task. The replacement MEC1503 chips can be acquired from Aliexpress. Do not buy the bare chips as...

The Real Dangers of conductive glue.

by mitsu2k

I know many folks on this forum warn against conductive glue and suggest removing it immediately upon site. I'm here to vouch and say these people know what they are talking about. To be more accurate, the glue isn't intended to be and doesn't actually start out conductive. It gets conductive as it is heated by components that get hot. The glue starts out to be a light tan color but as it is exposed to heat, it gets darker and darker until it is a dark brown. I have found that it becomes conductive at the point that it reaches a light brown color on darker.

Here is an experience I...
