550 Gigabit Ethernet Powerbook G4 and a 400 Mercury: I need advice on the best way to reapply thermal transfer material between the CPU and the heat exchanger. I only have this sticky white noname stuff called "cooling paste". I have yet to find a source for the green material Apple uses. The local Apple repair centre says this is what they use.
What I find hard is how to find the correct amount of cooling paste to put there. I used a small amount that I thought would be enough to cover the plate on top of the CPU. How do I verify I have enough heat dissipation? These models don't have built in temperature monitor. There is not a word about this problem in the repair manual(s). -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
