I want to apply thermal grease on my laptop GPU, but I've noticed there is a film sticked to the GPU chipset around the core. Personally I think it's an antistatic film, because it is covering those small resistors around. But I am not sure about it. Can anyone explain what is it for? And can I remove it at all? Because it seems some old thermal grease got under it and I want to unstick it at all.
The laptop make and model would help then it can easily be researched. – Sandeep Bansal – 2011-09-11T15:38:58.720
Benq R56 it has GF 8400 GS based on the G98 (D8M) chip. I don't think film is laptop specific. – Viaceslav D. – 2011-09-11T15:43:57.330
Generally speaking, I've never seen a film on any die for anything, on that matter I would take the film off and put the paste on as necessary. – Sandeep Bansal – 2011-09-11T15:47:34.353
1Any chance of a photo? – Linker3000 – 2011-09-11T16:34:34.543
Definitely. When I'll receive my ordered thermal paste I am going to disassemble it, make some photos and update this question/thread. – Viaceslav D. – 2011-09-12T12:16:59.843
