E-Waste Rescue: Can It Be Fixed?

Описание: A subscriber sent in an Alienware x17 R2 laptop recovered from a university e-waste program. Despite being in great condition, the laptop was dead, with the power button and battery unresponsive. Upon opening it and examining the motherboard, it was discovered that a college student's attempt to clean and replace the thermal paste had gone wrong. The laptop used a gallium-based liquid metal thermal paste, which had spread everywhere, causing catastrophic damage by shorting out the motherboard. Repair was impossible; replacing the motherboard would cost over a thousand dollars.
