This is the cleanup of an i3-370m that a family friend was having issues with. Initially, I thought it was the hard drive, because of bad sectors. However, after replacing the drive, the system started randomly rebooting and I knew it was a thermal issue. Please follow along as I clean up the old thermal pad and put some new thermal compound on the processor. 

I did not record the breakdown or reconstruction of the laptop due to time issues, sorry. The next laptop I work on, I will record from start to finish.

I am still trying to figure out Davinci Resolve export settings, so the quality of videos is still a work in progress. 

Thank you for watching, we really appreciate it.
