Re: Vaio SVS13A2 thermal pads (thickness)?

I totally forgot to write an answer...

There are no thermal pads or copper shields in SVS13A2 necessary - when I disassembled the notebook some months ago, there was originally only thermal paste. It is originally applied with the help of being a thermal "sticker" (it is just some really thin 'pad' - it is not silicone-like as pads, but more like real thermal paste). I did not dare to termal-glue a thin shim on the cooler, as being afraid there will be too much pressure on the die then (the gap is definately thinner than 2 DinA4 papers)
The fan shut the heck up, temps are alright - a little bit jumpy though (most likely as I am terrible in applying paste).
I am content for now =)
