pad should be fine to reuse. even if it rips, you can piece it back together and it will still work.

ok, now i can confirm that amd tk-36 on aspire 5051 cannot be replaced with tl-60 (tyler version). they have the same TDP - 31W, socket S1 and everything else but the sink cannot cold the tl-60. aftre replacing it the system run for about 10 min and then the vent went off. it countinued for about 5 min and then the system turned off. it looked like a cooling problem. i replaced the pads of the controller and the gpu (on this notebook they all have a common heatsink) and after an hour i turned the pc on. this time it lasted about 45 secs. and the vent was on its maximuum before the system turned itself off. so now i have the pld mk-36, the old vent and arctic silver on the gpu and the controller.

what a waste for the tl-60. does anyone have an idea why it couldn't be cooled in this laptop? was it a failure or......... maybe faulty cpu?

i would "strongly" recommend that you stated out ur issue(s) in full here, instead of linking ur post to another forum. Whilst i sympathise with the idea of more heads better than one, it is clearly causing issues to forum users (here or there) to follow the issue and submitting inputs back & forth & across

cheers ...

i know of many that had exchanged a TK-56 to a TL-60 with no issue. These were done on a hp dv94xx machines. A straightforward removal/swap of the cpu with new thermal paste.

From a TK-36 to TL-60 is quite a jump, but doable, I guess. Have u tried looking under ur bios settings after installing the new cpu and see if anything is out of whack? Is there a bios update version available? Faulty cpu, as u mentioned, could be a reason.

MichelleG probably has an idea, just wait for her input & response

cheers ...

how can i know if the problem is in the cpu? it shouldn't be getting that hot since it has the same TDP as the other one.
