Heatsink came off CPU cooler
I am having trouble with a laptop. It appears to be overheating and shutting down. I removed the back cover and noticed the heat pipe just fell off the CPU cooler. Does this mean I need a whole new CPU cooler? Or do you just attach the pipe back to the cooler somehow? TIA
A friend's laptop had this problem too, and I attempted to fix it with thermal glue. I only found out afterwards that the glue I bought wasn't very good quality, and it only solved the issue for light work (internet browsing, office suite usage, etc) but not for more CPU or GPU-intensive loads (like gaming, even for 2D games that were 100% fine before). Swapping the whole heatsink-heatpipe assembly is probably going to be my next attempt at a solution.
