Shutdowns and repair decisions

Repeated shutdowns, physical damage, unusual odour or battery swelling change the next step from tuning to safety and service. Thermal paste is only one part of the cooling path; age alone cannot identify its condition or establish the correct pad thickness.

What to record first

  1. Power off for physical warning signs and consult manufacturer support.
  2. Keep a record of symptoms and any recent update, impact or repair.
  3. Check service coverage and the exact repair procedure before opening the device.

Keep your readings together in the thermal risk profiler, or compare a different symptom in the complete guide directory.
