I called a local repair shop for a quote and they charge $238.00 just for the battery replacement. I think I'm gonna bite the bullet and give it a go. Wish me luck!
Mine also has heat issues, but I don't feel confident enough doing that's and honest, y I can't trust anyone do it for me 😅 BTW thank you for your efforts and don't worry about the missing part
@@Casey_Schmidt I completely agree, I received my paste this morning and carried out the task this evening as per your direction. So far so good, no crashing and its all behaving as it should. I believe my GPU (or CPU) was overheating due to dry paste, no kernel panic (darent say yet) which is a real plus, as Ive been at my wits end with it. Thanks again Casey!
@@Casey_Schmidt yes, the cpu is grand, low temp, low fan speed. Sadly I spoke too soon re the GPU, thats still failing after a day of perfect function. There's a place over here that does a hardware bypass, a new chip to ensure the nvidia card doesnt ever come into play, so its just the on board, I think thats my only option now.
Thank you for this! Please don't worry about the unrecorded part, I appreciate your efforts!!
Thank you!
I put all your effort to deliver good message to us, thumbs-up to you still. Cheers !!!
Haha, thanks Tom!

I like your honesty.
@Mark Guy - Thank you!
Never understood why dont they put a cold temp thermocouple on top of CPU to cool it down rather than a metal bar?

Thanks for taking the time with this, its appreciated. Did you find that the GPU issues were rectified from updating the thermal paste?
@JN Nicholls - The temps went down by a few degrees so I definitely think it’s worth it.

@@technotrancesessions - I’m glad to hear the improvement!

Can I use Isopropyl alcohol for cleaning?
I don’t see why not so long as you don’t get the circuit board wet. Use as little as possible.
did it make a difference on the temps?
Yes but only a small one.
do it again....
fire your camera man!
Take this video down and do it over correctly.
