    Laptop Update

    Salvaged electronics are sold by the pallet load. A pallet of 30 to 50 laptops costs me about $8 to $10 per laptop (I only buy product originally released within 5 years recent). Any single component sold between $15 to $20 pays for the laptop and the labor. Any other component sold is bread...

    Laptop Update

    I am not in Sales. The point of providing the links was to show that you should shop wisely. I usually pay $8 to $15 for this component. Identify your part number and search accordingly.

    Laptop Update

    It is normal in a circumstance where cooling has failed. It is inside the design specification, but at the upper margin. The causes of high temperature readings include, among others, a failed thermistor (motherboard component), improperly secured cooling assembly, et cetera. Therefore, I...

    Laptop Update

    "We" should see that Speedfan is reporting inconsistent data. You have not reported that Speedfan was configured in accordance with Speefan's published usage instructions. You will not find the P157SM motherboard on Speedfan's supported motherboard list, nor will you find the MTDN7002ZHS6R...

    Laptop Update

    Ignore all reference to pads. Earlier in the thread you asked about thermal pads vs thermal compound. This introduced a confusion in terminology. The black pads in your image are insulators and are not part of the cooling system. If this is true - New thermal compound is applied to GPU, and...

    Laptop Update

    Clean all surfaces prior to application of thermal compound. Adding compound to a pad is not valid and will cause high temps. A cooling pad is always a plus, but the evidence presented supports that air flow is at spec. As indicated earlier, and supported by OP report, there may be a failed...

    Solved how do I change the font size when I boot up in safe mode?

    Those winsock entries are odd. Possible fossils from an earlier malware infection. No harm in deleting the entries. From time to time, open Autoruns and see what is loading. Remember - less is more. Also, I have used SpywareBlaster like a religion. Never noticed it was of limited usefulness...

    Solved how do I change the font size when I boot up in safe mode?

    In my opinion, SuperAntiSpyware is crapware. In my opinion, it "finds" things to justify its existence. MalwareBytes is OK - but any real-time protections may be unnecessary. Avoid dodgy websites or learn how to protect your browser. I visit dodgy websites on a regular basis and suffer no...
