Anyone ever re-paste a laptop? My kid's laptop is having seeming overheating issues after he dropped it and broke the screen, thought maybe doing so jarred the seating of the heat sink or something, and I thought I could just take it apart, inspect it, and redo all the thermal paste to at least try an inexpensive fix.

Except:



Liquid metal, some kind of really thick thermal goop on the VRAM and VRMs (though some people don't seem to replace that?), and whatever's on the GPU. I've read that the PTM7950 thermal sheets are good for the CPU and GPU which would be easier than replacing the liquid metal..
