[jtruektrue]

hello everyone,

i unscrewed the heatsink assembly from my Dell N5110 motherboard.

can someone please tell me how to stick/glue/solder(?) this back on the board?

thanks in advance

I would glue it with epoxy.
I'm borderline with soldering it (without actually having it in my hands)...because I'd be concerned there would be too much heat required.

thanks for reply, what is that bit called? nut? insert?

An "insert" strikes me as not a bad term.
I think it can also be called a "boss" or a "stud".
Another thought would be to go right through the hole with the screw and put a nut on the back (this may or may not be possible due to different things).
