This reminds me of the time that my dad had two laptops with LM, both suddenly broke. I cleaned the LM off, put some thermal paste on, and they came back to life. We were so lucky that the LM only spilled a little. And the funny thing is, that my mom was the one who put LM in the laptops.
My Acer Predator laptop has LM on the CPU, but whoever applied it put probably 10x the amount there should’ve been and also misaligned the foam pads keeping the LM in. After a few months of use, the LM leaked out, temps spiked, and I had to spend hours scraping oxidized aluminum off of both the CPU and the vapor chamber block. Applied normal thermal paste and it works just as well as it did out of the box. LM is seriously the biggest scam
Well dealing with asus bad service for a mistake they made sure gonna be fun 😅. Can already smell a little law suit comming if they handle this badly …
Nice to know Asus are selling laptops that nuke themselves, unless you did the liquid metal…
Peeps just don't use liquid metal
oi!

I have an ASUS laptop with liquid metal in it. Watching this has made me extra wary…
Rich people have gadget like garbage have dirty
Cute cat
Don'r risk with liquid terminator, not worth it. Better to use phase change instead.
You should check out @dellpartspeople – he HATES liquid metal, and says PTM7950 is basically as good while being infinitely safer to use.

Funny, Americans call if "ay-suss."
JBC JTSE hot air station for the sorta win!!!
How old is the source material. This is pre braces and therefor first beard…
When liquid metal first came on the scene I was like are you stupid? get a non noticeable increase in performance for risking your computer dying?
Is liquid metal gallium?
Can you make a video about this issue on a ps5 and how to fix
Out of curiosity, how did you do the tests if the laptop could not be fixed? 😅
If not cleaned properly, it could cause electric discharge.
When he said “we weren’t able to repair…” I heard chubbyemu say “at autopsy” 😂
squirting. you have to squirt it

In a world with phase change pads and perfectly good thermal paste, liquid metal has to be the dumbest idea in history.
Liquid metal huh, sure buddy
Big fan of LTT, but this short is a mess. How can you get better results when the laptop is dead?
I don't bother with LM, it's more hassle that it's worth
What does I do if my uranium-powered pc suddenly became critical
Linus :DD
I think liquid metal is more trouble than it is worth in the majority of cases
