The second time i replace the heat sink glue with new stuff.

Today, my over 10 year old mac is still running like a young rabbit. Maybe this glue replacement was helpful to keep it young.

Keep on running for some more years my friend and big thanx to IFIXIT for all these well-made tutorials!

Hehe, still my mac os running! After, already bit more than 10 years of use!

I put new heat paste now for the second time. Maybe this helped for staying young so long.

Thanx for all the repair guides!!!

After i have repaired my macbook several times, this silver tape is getting quite raped.

What is the function of it?

Just to keep the cables under it in place or does it also play a role as a cable, to connect the optical drive with the fan?

Anyway, thanx a lot to the IFIXIT team. I do not only enjoy, to keep my thing running longer, i also enjoy repairing itself :-)
