a big disaster for my X42DE..previously i asked for guide on how to open up the laptop...and i did it..reapply the thermal paste..screw back eveything...and there goes the sad part..laptop can turn on..but then no activity at all..black screen without anything at all..no blinking hdd indicator..fan spinning..HDD sounds like running..ram changed and test..also same thing..just the power led and caps lock led are light up...i suppose either mobo or processor fried..any recommendation to perform before i send it to ASUS..warranty over already sad.gif

from my experience which happens all the time. check back your connection especially those small2 stuff and also your connection for display(to the monitor) sometimes it's just that. If you can't trouble shoot disassemble and re-assemble back smile.gif. Should do fine. Proc isn't easy to fry no worries. Except if you spill thermal paste or applied too many thermal paste and it leaks to the pins on the proc . other than that you should be fine smile.gif just some minor problem. well thats what i hope smile.gif good luck.

hi, but my thermal paste i used is eletrically non coductivity..so i doubt it wont affect? maybe is because of the display adapter connectors that i never removed..cause asus used a very sticky tape to hold it..so i did not removed it..

but is it possible that because of the connector there's no hdd response or when i plug out to a monitor also no response at all?
