Powerbook G3 Wallstreet Thermal Paste

Posted by: Hunter259 on 2024-05-14 11:55:55 Is it possible to remove this coin shim that sits on top of the G3 die? It moves freely on top so whatever paste was there is long gone now.

Posted by: 3lectr1cPPC on 2024-05-14 15:33:23 Yes. I think you just pry up on it a bit. I've replaced the paste in my system.

Posted by: Hunter259 on 2024-05-14 16:23:33 You are correct. I couldn't find anything online about it so I wanted to make sure before I went prying on it. Thanks!
