Thank you! You've helped me give my favorite laptop new life. It was overheating (not to a shutdown point, but I could tell), so I presumed the thermal paste had been baked after so many years, but this is a very compact machine and more intricate than a larger laptop. So I was a little unsure about doing this. You walked me through it, and it worked perfectly. I was expecting it to be a little better, but it was INSTANTLY better, running so much cooler. I'm typing this on my X201!
