Hello,
Thanks for this !
When assembling again, I noticed that at the contact between the micro-processor and the cooler the thermal paste there was a very small amount of thermal paste.
I had none to add, therefore I reassembled as is.
After starting the machine again I note that the cooling fan never stops.
I suggest that at reassembling should thermal paste added.
ibm thinkpad t42 laptop driver are not download please sir my laptop motherboard information send in my email id . how can download driver download for ibm laptop
Excellent tutorial. Thank you.
thanks alot!
It’s tempting to try, but I’d feel much braver with a reassembly tutorial!
Is it a mistake to turn the CPU lock 180 degrees instead of 90? Can it happen that the screen stays dark if the CPU isn’t seated firmly and locked in the correct way?
You need to remove the battery, hard drive, and UltraDrive before starting step 1.
