Quark thermal issue?

[wallot]

That was fun. while removing the top cover the button fell off as well the black thingie next to it broke on of its leads. Thank god i got new soldering station yesterday as my old $5 60W soldering iron would be useless. :027:

Now I need to choose best thermal adhesive/tape.

I have Thermattach T411 tape or Artic Ceramique paste or some cheap Thermal Epoxy

uh oh

That doesn't sound good at all! I should mentioned that you need to pop off the little lense on the top cover that shows the LED's, it does it a surface mount chip, i don't know what. what was it? are you good at soldering?

I don't get how the button can come of though, it's not sticking out anywhere? :032: :002:
