Actually I have a laptop in home which went dead. It usually overheated, Tried changing paste, applying thermal pad with no help. Finally I realized heat sink might be bent. I made a roll of electrical tape, put it on top of heat sink pipe and closed its body which made tape press against heat sink and it made good contact and CPU stopped overheating. Was working fine and after maybe a month or 2 it died. Tried removing HDD, RAM, everything it doesn't powers on, charger light works only. Disassembled almost fully, made connections again still dead.
I checked capacitors on top of CPU with multimeter, and all of them are short circuited, is it supposed to be like this or CPU is really dead? Even one capacitor to another shows a short circuit.
BTW laptop is Toshiba Portege A600, CPU is Intel Core 2 Duo SU9300.
