I have old notebook from my friend, I offered him help to clean it up. Since I am really enjoying doing it recently in my free time, cleaning up GPUs, CPUs in PC cases or notebooks.
But first time found out about thermal pads. I have none to replace. I have non conductive thermal paste Arctic-Cooling MX-4 so I can (as in picture) put it on GPU, even that there was thermal pad.
But I do wonder about those 'black box'es that are thermal pads there. In previous notebooks I had no thermal paste on it, nor thermal pads. Should I remove them, since they are really messed up, and leave it. Or can I put on it a bit thermal paste, or should I really go to shop and find thermal pad.
Thing is, shops are closed today, not sure if there will be in any local tomorrow, and friend is leaving on weekend. So I wonder if I can put thermal paste on it
