Z60t processor thermal pad needs replacing

hello,
one of the paraffin thermal pads (not the grease) that attaches to the heat pipe/sink has come off. i had the fan out to clean the fan grills yesterday and noticed it was loose. i tried to reseat it, but it doesn't seem to have worked.
this is for the processor in the centre of the machine, not the cpu near the left hand side.
does anyone know what that pad is and were to get replacement? i can find thermal tape, but not anyone who sells this pad. is is sold by lenovo? this machine is 3 years old and out of warranty.
desperate,
tim

I'd imagine that what you're looking for is included in FRU 26R9544...but give Lenovo a call and double check by all means.
Good luck.

Gtx260 twin frozr OC, i need recommendation from thermal pads to replace

so i have this graphic card Msi gtx260 twin frozr OC
Replace it by mistake by one of poor quality and damaged the original and wanted to know if I can help get the original or a recommendation or if there is any way to know what are the specifications of which was bringing factory installed,
the original thermal pad with green white very soft and thin (0.2 mm I think) on the component side was bringing a very fine fiber
initial temperature of approximately 113 122 new GTX260 farenheit
after 2 years of use 122 131
and now now 1 year after the change depues thermal pad, my mistake. The temperature is 140 to 149 farenheit
these are the specifications that use thermal pad. -
Thermal Conductivity: 6.0 (W / m.K)
Hardness: 35 (shore 00)
Density: 3.20 (g/cm3)
Dielectric Strength:> 14 (kV / mm)
Dielectric Constant: 15.0 MHz
Flammability: U.L. 94 V-0
Continuous Use Temperature: -60 ~ 200C
I live in mexico and it is difficult to achieve thermal pad.
PLEASE HELP.

Any reason you are not considering using thermal paste instead ?

G62 thermal pad replacement

Hi,
I'm fixing a friends laptop with overheating issues. I've looked over the disassemble and find nothing I can't do (alot I shouldn't have to, nice design there HP).
My only question is whats the size and thickness of the thermal pad needed for the GPU? I'd hate to have to trial and error it.
Thanks

Wow... support.

The touch pad on my Mac book Pro is very sensitive and causes changes without hardly touching it. Can this be changed or does it need replacement?

The touch pad on my Mac book Pro is very sensitive and causes changes without hardly touching it. Can this be changed or does it need replacement?

Touchpads are just that, touchpads.
You touch it and something happens unfortunately, you can't rest your fingers on it while your waiting to do something else or it triggers a response.
You either have to train yourself to remove your fingers and keep them suspended, causing wrist, arm and hand pain, or plug in a standard mouse where nothing happens until you press the button, like years of ergonomic experience has shown is a much superior method.
Touchpads are likely less expensive to produce and breakdown less often under warranty, so just like less expensive to produce glossy screens, it's a cost cutting measure they were incorporated into our devices and required users to adapt to sweeps, gestures and other useless actions for little benefit.
I've owned my Early 2011 MacBook Pro for a year now and have only used the trackpad once, the mushy keyboard perhaps only a couple of dozen times. Preferring external devices where I can rest my digits and nothing happens until I apply pressure or use a scroll wheel.
Needless to say my keyboard area is in brand new condiiton, remains covered from the original packaging, protects against dirt and spills too.
Mac's keyboard and trackpad area tend to wear out pretty fast, like in about 3 years, making one consider getting a new machine long before it physically fails.

Re: Replace thermal pad GT70 2 PC

Thermal pads for VRAM are 1.0mm, but other pads for electric components are 1.25mm. Don't use too hard thermal pads or they will likely leverage some part of the thermal pipe and make it untouched from some electric components then cause the components...

What's your BIOS & EC versions?
Where did you get those drivers?
Did you update the video BIOS?
Check the GT70 2PC product webpage and update all above.

Dv5t-1000 thermal pads

My dv5t-1000 seems to be running hotter than normal. It's 5 years old now and I figure it would be reasonable to overhaul the cooling system. The fan doesn't seem to be blowing much air anymore, so i"m going to replace it, as well as clean out as much dust as possible (shouldn't be hard since I will need to take the laptop completely apart). I'm also going to replace the thermal compund and thermal pads. The problem is, I don't know how thick the pads need to be and I can't find this information anywhere online. I really only want to have to pull everything apart once if I can help it. Can anybody tell me how thick the new pads I buy need to be?
TLDR: How thick are the thermal pads in the dv5t-1000?

I got a set of K5-pro and K4-pro thermal pastes from ebay ( www.ebay.com/itm/261419323645 ). K5-PRO is a thermal paste for themal pad replacement. I use it in all cases instead of thermal pads and I don't have to care about thickness any more. Copper has better thermal conductivity but it is impossible to make it fit on the GPU and under the heatsink perfectly and it is electrically conductive so still K5-PRO is much better I think. K4-PRO is the best thermal paste for reasonable cost that I have used so far. You only need one small drop on the CPU.
there is a video about these products on youtube here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9v5MDivZfc
K5-Pro is also avaliable on Amazon... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K04D3UK

DV9000: Thermal pad or copper shim?

Hi! I recently bought a DV9000 from my local electronics recycler, and it, of course, has the notorious GPU issue. I have ordered a refurbished motherboard, but was wondering what the consensus is about whether a thermal pad or copper shim is the way to go to dissapate the GPU heat on the new board. I'm sure HP doesn't have an official stance on this, but I would like to hear from anyone what their choice is, and why. Thanks!

I usued to place copper shim until I found K5-PRO viscus thermal paste. Copper has great thermal conductivity but it is electrically conductive and can cause damage and also if it is slightly thiner or thicker it won't fit perfectly. K5-PRO is a very gummy thermal paste designed for thermal pad replacement. Try it and you will see that it is the perfect solution for all cases when you need to replace a thermal pad.
You can see a video about it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9v5MDivZfc

12"PB 1.5ghz...Thermal Pad or Paste??????

Hello,
Can any of you fine folks tell me what exactly is used on a last gen 12" 1.5ghz Powerbook? Thermal Pad of Thermal Paste?
I am putting a few dollars into my PB (7200 rpm HD, max ram and a replacement glossy screen from Techrestore) and was wondering if it was worth using AS5 (Arctic Silver5) to keep the heat down a bit.
Thanks Bunches

As far as I'm aware G4 processors always use thermal pads specifically shaped for the chip.

Thermal pads for MSI GX640

Hello,
My brother has the MSI GX640 notebook. It's already a few years old and it's overheating easily.
I wanted to replace the thermal paste and thermal pads.
Thus, my question.
Does anybody know how thick the thermal pads in this model should be?
Cheers!

you may check with MSI directly but if you use thermal grease, a drop that could cover the core is enough.

Thermal pad under LQFP48 package

Hello,
I need a thermal pad in a footprint of a LQFP 48 package - the pad should have some vias to the bottom side.
I had no issue to implement the LQFP48 package with the part wizard - but havebn't been able to use "Pins" and "Copper area" to implement a decent thermal pad into the footprint which should be then pin "49" of the package.
How can this be done with Ultiboard.
I would like to point out, that I would like to have this pad in the _footprint_ !

Hi tbet,
Generally thermal pads are added using a the rectangular SMD pin (or custom pad shape if you require a cutout). an example using the custom pad shape already in the database is the QFN40P600X600X80-49N.
This is easiest to do after clicking the "finish" button in the part wizard, while still in footprint edit mode.
An alternative to this is to edit the footprint after being saved using the database manager (tools > database > database manager) and edit the existing footprint.
From here you can use the pin placement dialog (place > pins) to select your desired shape from the SMD Pin dropdown.
If you wish to use a custom pad shape, it needs to be created before the land pattern, which is done via the database manager.
From the database manager click the "Create New Part" button (Ctrl-N) and select "Custom pad shape", You will be brought to the custom pad shape editor where you can create the pad(usually done with a Polygon). Ensure you save the pad to the database when finished.
The pad is then placed from the pins dropdown as noted above by selecting the Custom shape and locating your saved pad in the database.
Regards,
Jason

What Processor do I need

Hi, I just bought this dv7 and when I went to turn it on, all the lights came on, fan came on, but no monitor and caps light and number lock light are blinking, one blink about every 2 seconds. According to what I have read, this is a processor failure. This laptop was supposed to have the AMD Turion X2 RM-72 2.1 ghz, the dv7 maintenance and service manual I have, (575977_001), doesn't specify if this is the correct model I have or not. I would like to upgrade the processor since I need to replace it anyway, what other, better processors can I swap for this one? I have no issue swapping out processors and other parts, done it many times.

Odds are the problem is not the processor but the motherboard. Processor failures are very rare: motherboard faiures frequent, and blink codes notoriously unreliable. If you are dead set to replace the CPU, you do not need to use an HP Part No. Right now the link to your Service Manual is down so check back maybe later today and we can figure out what is the maximum speed AMD CPU that you can install on your motherboard.
Page is back up now here is your Manual:

MSI GT683 Cooling - Thermal Pads and Mod

Hi,
I have a MSi GT683 notbook. Sometime ago i upgraded the GPU (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=168610) and because of that i started to have some problems that turned out to be caused by the power supply not being strong enough (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=172580).
Now i bought a new power supply but i am afraid that it will get my temps too high, so i want to do a maintenance of the notebooks cooling (change thermal paste and thermal pads) and maybe mod it a little bit.
But i have some doubts that i need some help with.
First, what thermal pad thickness should i use on the GPU? I changed the GPU from a 560M to a 675M and bought the appropriate heat sink.
Second, can i cut a hole in the underside of the notebook so that the cooling fan can get more air?
This is where i am thinking of cutting the hole:
It will be a small hole, that i will cover with a mesh to keep dust out, directly above the fan.
And i am going to buy this notebook cooler (http://www.coolermaster.com/mobile/notepal-series/notepal-u-stand/) which i probably going to mod changing and adding more powerful and quieter fans.
What do you guys think?

actually cutting a hole under there is useless w.o cooling pad but if you can build up or find a good cooling pad which directly push cool air thru that hole then it makes some changes.... i have went thru lots of forums, sites and any other informative places about modding notebook cooler and found out that best cooling method is that little bit alluminum + cooling pad + remove the whole lower case will give you 50-60C when your on full load.... so i tested out whichever method i have read and heard... adding alluminum on the both thermal parts on gpu and cpu w.o removing lower case and putting cooling pad under it gave me higher temp than normal... so i remove the lower case and put it on cooling pad 10 - 15C decrease than normal but i dont use my nb as station so its not for me... then i removed alluminum blocks and put the lower case back and put on a cooling pad gave me 5-6C lower temp... then i drilled some holes where you are planning to cut holes with 0.3 and put it on cooling pad then i got 9-13C lower temp normal and i tested it w.o cooling pad then i got exactly same temp as before cutting hole on the lower case... so i think that cutting hole under fan makes less air circulate is bias understanding and for my case its proven for me... so i am advising you to cut a hole there but not a big one use 0.3 drill that will give you some manufacture like clean cuts...
also refer to this fix http://forum.notebookreview.com/sager-clevo/674825-improving-p170em-7970m-gpu-cooling-performance-foiled.html
i know msi fan is not loose as clevo but it helped me lower some 2 3C

Qosmio X300-16D - thermal pad/paste solution for CPU and Nvidia MCP

Can anyone suggest a good (specific) thermal solution for the Qosmio X300-16D CPU and Nvidia MCP?
I ask because there is a slight complication with the 16D (an SLI setup)... the heatsink for the CPU and Nvidia MCP are connected in the same thermal module, but while the CPU heatsink is screwed down, the Nvidia MCP chip is not - so there is a large gap between that chip and the heatsink.
I'm guessing some form of thermal pad should be used here rather than grease/paste? Does anybody know what thermal pad has been used by Toshiba for this, or point me to a high quality replacement that is suitable to be used?
Thanks,
Chris

Hi
As far as I know the thermal grease 776 (part num: K000055600) could be used.
But there are different cooling pends as mentioned by Akuma.
There is an thermal fan 1 for DUAL-VGA (K000061940) and thermal fan 2 for dual VGA (K000061950) as well.
I assume both are for SLI configuration.
There are also some other cooling modules for VGA (VGA THERMAL MODULE-1-GT-NB9E K000065560 and VGA THERMAL MODULE-2-NB9E-W/O TMA K000065560)
You can google for these part numbers Found all in internet

Apple says "logic board needs replaced" because MBP won't turn on w/o SMC reset but I think I can fix it; can you help?

Hello,
Less than a year after purchasing a brand new, early-2011 Macbook Pro (still covered under Extended Apple Care) and, sadly, only a week or two after finally upgrading to 8GB RAM, I returned to my notebook after taking a shower and watched it suddenly shut itself down. It has not been responsive to the power button since then (although, see below.. I think I can fix it).
Genius Bar took one look at the visible moisture sensor you can see underneath where the RAM sits and declared it water-damaged. While I agree that either a short and/or corrosion is causing my MBP to malfunction, I don't believe it should void my warranty because the problem isn't that I spilled something on it.1
I hope someone can give me some insight into fixing this myself. Apple says "the Logic Board needs replaced" (a common CS response, I've noticed) the water damage voids my Extended Care + that it'll be at least $1200 and several weeks. Here's the situation:
MBP will not turn on just by pressing the power button. However, MBP consistently (every time) powers up when I do an SMC reset.
I have it in verbose mode and it begins booting. But, it will invariably turn off without warning anywhere between 30 seconds and 8-10 minutes after powering up.
MBP will not turn on just by pressing the power button. However, MBP consistently (every time) powers up when I do an SMC reset.
I have it in verbose mode and it begins booting. But, it will invariably turn off without warning anywhere between 30 seconds and 5 minutes of powering up.
Eighty percent of the time, it turns off during the pre-Xorg boot. However, I have also seen it fully boot, I log in, I'm able to peruse logfiles/etc. Safe Mode (holding shift) crashes early. Single-user mode makes no difference. PRAM/NVRAM/etc makes no difference. I can boot to the Recovery Partition but it turns off just the same (disk utility scan takes too long).
I haven't been able to really test the Internet Recovery because the hotel wireless takes too long. I did boot into Hardware Test and it passed the basic and extended tests (although it seemed to just be testing the RAM integrity.
I can boot from the optical drive with a FreeBSD 9 livecd and an Ubuntu 11.04 livecd. Of note is that the laptop shuts off consistently when FreeBSD begins the journaling services for the ZFS filesystem (every time).
Here is where this leads me to believe I'm at (I am not dogmatic here and would appreciate any corrections or insight):
It seems like there may be corrosive damage on the logic board but maybe it's isolated given the various consistencies in what's happening. It seems like whenever SATA is use, I lose power. When SATA isn't really used (the HW Test), the laptop has literally stayed on for days and days.
I want to get in there and clean up any corrosion with 91% isopropyl alcohol (9% distilled, non-conductive water).
I want to use a bootable OSX livecd with an "emergency console" so I can, basically, use boot options to step throught the boot process and see if I can isolate the problem.
Here is what I'm uncertain about and could use guidance:
Does any of this sound remotely reasonable to anyone who has been through this or am I delusional?
Any tips on identifying and cleaning any corrosion?
While I had made a bootable version of Lion via Disk Utility and a rescue disk with some third-party app, they are MIA and I don't have another Mac at the moment. Do I have any other options? Again, an install dvd is not exactly what I want -- more like a rescue dvd. I had read about some Apple Stores giving/copying bootable USB thumb drives like this to customers. But, I noticed that this is now on sale there for $80. I would use this like once and, ideally, could use my MBP to make more. $80 seems a bit much.
I should be able to step through the boot process in a way like what's possible with FreeBSD, no?
Anyone have any other specific troubleshooting tips?
I really, reallly need my MBP back as soon as possible. I'd really appreciate any wisdom and insight! Thank you,
-ryan
To be totally honest, about 3 weeks prior I spilled some milk from cereal on the desk and a little bit got onto the battery. However, the notebook worked fine for the following weeks. I believe that the problems have been caused by ambient humidity ... I've been staying in a hotel that steams up the entire room when I take a shower. The windows are covered in water droplets so why wouldnt the MBP be affected? As noted, these problems began after I lingered in a hot shower.

I don't think you have a case.
You can replace the logic board yourself if you are a DIY'er and save some money.

HT3669 With recent upgrade to my Mac I can no longer get supply report on ink status in my printer-light is blinking and unable to tell which cartridge needs replacing?

With the recent upgrade to my computer I can no longer get Supply reports from my printer: a red light is flashing and I don't know which ink cartridge needs replacing?

I happen to have an Epson printer as well - WorkForce 645 - that does show the supply levels.
Since I have one, I know that Apple recently updated the Epson printer software (less than two weeks ago). Do you have the latest software? If not, you can get it through the App Store or here:

Try it if you don't currently have it. If you're not sure, you can download it - it can't hurt.
