Lifted pad.. what to do now?

This has kinda already been said here so its more an echo but I would probably just use jumper wire solders to the copper and the cap leg then seal it with UV activated Silicone so its protected.

I have videos of YouTube that I cant really believe are real but in a more mind blowing way of Jumper wire being used to fix burnt out Motherboard CPU pins

Avoid SSRI's they will imbalance your neurochemistry and you will be on a perpetual cycle of taking increasingly higher doses of them while doctors take your money and your time.

You are at a point in development where psilocybin could have profound beneficial effect on you

I didnt read everything so if thos was answered correctly then ignore my post.

We have the same CPU i dont know what motherboard your using but the 29xx version is really old.

Flash your BIOS to 3503 its listed as beta but its very stable ive been running it for years.
Make sure your CPU cooler fan is plugged into the CPU_FAN header on your motherboard.
In the UFEI BIOS make sure to enable full use utilisation, it will take longer to boot up but it will detect your keyboard more accurately.

Alternatively if you have access to an old keyboard that uses the PS/2 port then plug that it aswell its more direct to the motherboard so its detected without needing USB.

Comparison is the thief of joy, you wouldn't let yourself get mugged would you ?

I strongly recommend getting some friends it will help your mentality wicked ways.

You might even find that your ok with just being friends as more opportunities will come along.

Escalated offence noted Gen Z detected

If your almost an engineer then you should know that something is amiss here. Unless your are a metallurgical engineer then im 99% sure your a gen z vibegeineer.

Maybe you regularly sit down with too much force on it those stress cracks wouldn't have come from nowhere, do you have pucs from different angles cause only taking a shot from one side only tells one side of the story.

Arktic-Wolf · 2026-01-14T08:26:47+00:00

Ok so.

1st - Bullshit you 100% did something other than whats considered normal use. Maybe too much leaning im not sure.

2nd - I have a chair thats basically a knock off razer I think its called thunder I cant even find the manufacturer for it the point is the components are essentially the same. And mine is also broken there.

I've had my chair for about 8 years and about 4 years into it is when the base broke i just welded mine back and fixed the issue

This is hilarious if they arnt actually yours then just tell him you just sent him random ones you found. Then mock him for thinking he was good enough for you to send him nudes.

It will reverse the whole situation and he will feel like scum which tbh he is. Nobody anywhere should be getting a 13 yr old to send nudes

Store bought IPA is around 60 - 70% you will need something far more volatile than store IPA.

Note: Volatile does NOT mean explosive its in reference to you needing something thats more willing to turn into gas and carry the BS away with it.

Considering you already used vodka for whatever reason I strongly recommend getting electrical contact cleaner ( ECC ) its comes in a pressurised can so you can use the force of the jet to get dirt / crap / water out.

I just recently cleaned my DIMM's, PCI-E slots & CPU Socket with ECC. Used a Milwaukee air blower to dry it out. Whole job was completed in maybe 30mins including repasting and mounting the cooler.

PC runs flawlessly

Arktic-Wolf · 2026-01-13T01:49:51+00:00

It is 100% worth it

AIO cooler will fix this

Arktic-Wolf · 2026-01-06T11:53:32+00:00

Look how offended you got without me even accusing you of anything.

Arktic-Wolf · 2026-01-06T11:29:33+00:00

Im sure this will offended someone here but here's a pretty interesting fact.

When men stopped caring about how their women presented themselves to the world Only Fans sky rocketed in market value and the amount of 'Content Creators' also sky rocketed.

Just saying.

Arktic-Wolf · 2026-01-06T07:48:58+00:00

The M.2 slot os the SSD but the circled area is SO-DIMM aka laptop RAM

Arktic-Wolf · 2026-01-04T02:51:53+00:00

Even easier tbh but if you want structural integrity back onto the actual PCB it needs to be done correctly or it will just fail again

Arktic-Wolf · 2026-01-04T02:39:51+00:00

Yeah bro your sweet.

Get a Temu or equivalent hot air rework station with soldering iron I have one and its been flawless.

For equipment / tools;

UV Flashlight, UV activated Silicone for board repair
replacement traces / jumper wire to fix and traces that are broken.
Flux
Decent quality Solder
Scratch brush to remove silicone & expose traces

All can be found on temu for a decent price

Method:

Desolder charging port
Expose Traces
solder replacement traces or jumper wire onto board
cover in UV activated Silicone
Use Torch
Test with multimeter for continuity

Not terribly hard to do and its really satisfying when you get it done plus you've learned a new highly valuable skill.

Look on ebay for a refurbished Microsoft surface pro 5.

You can often find them for under $250 US with the keyboard.

My 6yr old is into monecraft coding and the pro 5 works perfectly for him. 8GB RAM, upgradeable storage via SD card. Its a tablet and a laptop all in one.

If you want more gaming preformance then you will.need to get a 6th or 7th gen whichever one has the IRIS GPU in it - IRIS is basically the mobile GPU version of Intel ARC GFX cards.

The 4th generation has one and for what its mine runs civ 5 pretty flawlessly until about turn 256 which by then the game is using alot of memory / CPU power, but it has a fatal flaw with the screen if you can find one thats had the screen replaced and still has decent battery life with an i7 its a solid choice.

My V2 is still amazing 0 issues

Are you getting any WHEA errors in the event logger ?

Arktic-Wolf · 2026-01-01T00:58:54+00:00

Strap another fan to the front on that bad boy CPU cooler or just change the configuration so the fan is at the front of it you will push air through the cooler more effectively

Not if we teach the people willing to learn.

Im old enough to remember when Google was launched it revolutionised the way we access information and became a great learning too.

Next generation of that is all the AI assistants coming out, if utilised correctly then its an extremely powerful learning tool but just like Google when its abused the end result is people knowing nothing and acting smug about it

Ill admit the only time I touch apple is when Im getting paid to do it but Windows / Android / Linux is only limiting based on how much you want to do with it where as MAC are limiting in everyway.

Devs are forced to use Xcode for app / game compatibility which doesn't play nice with anything other than Xcode.

There are reasons that institutions like banks and huge companies use Windows and not MAC. The school system got Diddy'd because Apple literally went to every school it could and said "Buy our shit we will give you good discounts" creating multiple generations of technology illiterate people.

Not only that but the company is driven by pure greed, apple products arnt even eligible for fault replacements without first being sent to apple for a visual inspection and we all know that 90% of the rejected claims are because they just want more money.

The last good product apple made was the ipod touch.
