Would it be a difficult operation to re-paste the A1246 hash board heat sink?
That would be my suggestion for a fix procedure.
I'm willing to take a look, not a big deal. It's a shame too, because the room is fairly cold (45F)
Do you have any resources you can point in my direction for things to be aware of during disassembly/inspection? Will typical cpu thermal paste do, or do you recommend a specific type?
