Ready for a fun little Floatplane exclusive? We had a really old plastic pushpin fall off of a chipset heat sink,
so now it's only held on by these two spring-loaded...
So now it's only held on... Here, get a close-up of this. Yeah, yeah, on it. Okay, they got one. Perfect.
Okay, and then back to the wide. Okay, and back to you. Yeah. So now it's only held on by these two spring-loaded pushpins up here,
but of course, the average person is not likely to have a bunch of these pushpins
lying around, so whatever shall we do?
Ha! First thing we're going to need is some thermal compound,
because I couldn't help noticing that the thermal compound down there is
dried to all hell. I'm not going to bother to do a good job of this,
but I'm at least going to put some glue up on them. Yeah, for sure.
You ready? And ready, go for it. Well, yeah, you're not going to see this.
Beautiful. Okay. Okay, back to you.
Yeah, perfect. Perfect.
Flawless.
The RB. Okay, couldn't... Yeah, you're back rolling again.
Next we'll need some ordinary zip ties.
Now the magic happens.
Step one, stick the zip tie through the hole.
Step two, get another zip tie.
Step three. Step three, pull said zip tie.
All right, step four.
Do not scratch any of the traces on this motherboard, because there is no way to replace it.
Step five, do it again four more times.
I don't know if I'm going to bother doing all the holes, but I'll do some of them.
Okay, here, do you want to get close? Yeah, I'm grabbing them now. And now you're ready.
And go for it, yeah.
Sweet.
Man, what they used to make blue, huh? Blue motherboards.
And there you go. I did almost all four of them, and now it doesn't move anymore.
Yay, oh, that's a piece of cardboard. Well, there's the back.
Sweet, what a win. Hey, look, I got to take the W's where I can find them, okay?
