Alright someone please help me. I need to remove this conductive paint from my cpu core, because the L10 bridges are crossed sideways. I have tried absolutley everything I could think of:
Rubbing Alcohol
Non-Acetone Nail Polish Remover
Pure Acetone
An Eraser

I am ready to go buy a new cpu, as I have heard that crossing the bridges sideways is VERY VERY BAD (Although I don't know if this is true for L10 also). Please help me. Thanks.

I've used the Defogger with the catalist mixed in which makes it harden.
It comes off with a Qtip and 95% isopropyl alcohol.
(it gets caught in the cotton)

Couldnt you use a small pin and gently separate the crossover with some gentle scraping between the contacts?
Maybe the picking will flak the paint off?

Sorry if this sounds bad, I never used paint b4.
