I've fixed mine now. Might have lost a couple of films but nothing I can't get again.
Oh and probably some old uni coursework. But like that fucking matters.

I have a bound copy of my final year dissertation on oestrogen or something. I used thick paper to make it look like there was more content than there really was.

Another one for you geeks because I've never done it before: I'm replacing my heatsink & fan after my little incident last night (  ), I've got some thermal paste and cleaner coming with it. My question is, can I just use any old rag to remove the old thermal paste using the cleaner? |

Just be gentle and make sure the clothe is free of dirt (pretty obvious).
When you apply the thermal past use a finger covered in clingfilm (or a sandwich bag) or use a thin bit of plastic as a spreader (old plastic credit card style thing).
What thermal paste have you got. Just be uber careful with the conductive stuff and don't use a lot - try getting the thinnest layer you can to cover the heat spreader.
Jobs a good'n

Ceramique isn't conductive I don't think so if it all goes pete tong it shouldn't short circuit the board.

That's what I use. You have to be careful with that because it's electrically conductive.
