| + | [* black] Since cooling is such an issue with this notebook, if you take the heat sink off of the processor and the graphics card, ***use fresh thermal paste*** and ***remove the old thermal paste*** on the two parts. It's that greyish residue on the chips. It's not unreasonably expensive and it can really help with cooling issues |
| [* black] You may want to look at a ***separate guide for applying and removing thermal paste***, it's not entirely complicated but you don't want to make a mess of your work and need to ***redo it later*** | |
| [* black] Hopefully once you put it all back together, your DV7 provides you with years of valuable service. ***Just remember not to over-tighten screws*** so that if you have to do it again, there's still enough thread to pull them out again! |
