iPad Pro Thermal Paste Replacement

ID: 158443

Description: Follow this guide to replace the thermal paste...

Steps:

1. Use a spudger to scrape away the old thermal paste from the processor.
2. Don't use metal tools to scrape away thermal paste, as this will scratch the processor.
3. Use a cotton swab or lint-free cloth with high-strength (>90%) isopropyl alcohol to clean any remaining thermal paste.

4. Repeat the previous step for the logic board shield.

5. Apply a rice grain-sized amount of thermal paste to the middle of the processor.

6. Apply Tesa tape along the edges of the logic board shield.

7. Be very careful during this step! The Tesa tape is very sticky, and the shield can't be repositioned once it sticks.
8. Use tweezers or your fingers to remove the protective paper lining from the Tesa tape.
9. Align the shield over the logic board in the correct orientation.
10. Lay the shield over the logic board.

11. Slide your finger along the perimeter of the shield to secure it to the logic board.
12. Don't press on the shield where the thermal paste is. When you install the iPad screen, it will press against the shield and spread the paste over the processor.
