--- Comment #16 from Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <h...@hmh.eng.br> 2009-04-15 11:25:05 --- Well, if XP behaves no better, we probably didn't grow a new bug, but still please do test older kernel.org releases (that's what I called 'mainline') to give us a sure datapoint. As for the hardware guide, it tells you how to *disassemble* the thinkpad (but you better be well used to doing such things or you might break something, laptops are NOT easy to disassemble, and are even worse to assemble back). The heat transfer interface repair procedure of a thinkpad is not going to be explained anywhere. Really, if you are not used to do this kind of stuff, it is better to find a skilled technician (and _DO_ get one that is used to repair laptops!) to do it for you. You'll also need some very high quality thermal grease, the sort an overclocker would use, but you must get one that does not react to other metals. If you still want to try it yourself, look at various overclocking sites and learn how to do a perfect heatsink and chip surface cleaning job, how to apply thermal grease perfectly, and which thermal grease you should use. Search also for thinkpad repair sites to see if any have a few pages about heatsink and fan repair. Remember you're dealing with a notebook, so it is useless to get thermal greases that require the small ovens people use on desktops, you need to get one that will cure well and work well at ~55C, not one that likes to stay above 70C :-) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
