      that's why I always replace a pad with a new pad and never a copper shim, with distorted gaps like that a shim is useless

        Ouch. Let me guess:

          Same here, same rationale. If there wasn't a need for a pad's "squish", then a pad wouldn't have been used.

            lol, someone trying to use a penny or some sort in this laptop. Doing it wrong, though!

            I, however, would never have done this.
            Recovering a BEFSR41 v1 and v2 router from solid red DIAG Light
            I have two v2s and one v1.

            I am still looking at these boards nearly every day.

            What I'm doing: Planning an upgrade of my mining setup from Block Erupters to Red Furys. Though, if the Block Erupters don't sell, I will keep using them for a while.

              Maybe that's why the HP Compaq Athlon II laptop I was working on back in April shut down once under a light load!
