Well, I would suggest you erase the pencil lead and try again. Maybe a brdge connection has failed, causing unexpected behavior. :confused:

I have the defogger repair kit, but found it really hard. Maybe I'll give it another try tonight. :)

I used a fairly good size sewing needle and bent the end to kind of resemble a dentists pick. Shove the other end into an eraser or something so you have a comfy grip. Lay the CPU flat on a table and get a rag or something you can use to brace use hands. Good luck!

I ended up cleaning up the CPU and Heatsink and reapplying Arctic Silver. It's back to 800MHz and it even dropped my temp :). Thanks for the help guys! :D
