Step Lines

[* black] Repeat the previous step to clean and remove all the old liquid metal and its residue from the APU.
[* icon_caution] Don't let any of the liquid metal drip onto the board.
-[* icon_note] DURING ***DISASSEMBLY*** GOOD POINT TO REPLACE THERMAL PADS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE BOARD/BOTTOM SHIELD PLATE
+[* black] During ''disassembly'' this is a good point to replace any thermal pads on the ''bottom'' of the main board. The pads may be stuck to the bottom shield plate or the main board.
+ [* icon_note] It's important that the replacement pads are the same thickness as the originals, otherwise the foam around the APU may not seal properly.
