[QUOTE="iggibar, post: 1821245, member: 97843"] [B]Cleaning the guts[/B] After inspecting it, I turned it on to double check the specs and test everything. I let it sit while playing a Netflix movie. While playing, I noticed it got SUPER hot!! I took the case apart to clean and eventually lead inspecting the high quality thermal paste Apple uses(sarcasm). Pulled out my trusty computer/small electronics repair tool kit and went to town. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20190517_134801.jpg"]37770[/ATTACH] Again, I was surprised! [ATTACH type="full" alt="20190517_134813.jpg"]37771[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]37816[/ATTACH] It looked like it was never opened or messed with. Just the way I like it! Used my cleaning toothbrush and some isopropyl alcohol to clean everything up. It's crazy how many water indicators there are in here!! [ATTACH type="full"]37817[/ATTACH] Next up is the thermal paste [/QUOTE]
