burlbark said:It will be plainly obvious when you take the top off. If the silver colored wifi unit does not have exposed holes you will need to open it up and confirm the bottom processor in the wifi unit has a thermal pad or thermal compound. Here is a pic showing what not to see.....The processor to the left of the case should have a generous layer of thermal past on it so that it should match up with the case and its raised area with white paste. This processor could not heat sink to the case and failed.
Lol that processor on mine had zero anything on it. No pad no paste no nothing. I guess I am lucky that mine survived till now. I added plenty of arctic silver to it before putting it back together.
