I use my fingers nails. Less chance for damage.

Going to need a pic of your fingernails :rofl2:

I do not believe I could catch that with my nails. I would recommend not touching that with your fingernails though, because I recommend not touching any of the PCB with your fingers. Its best to undo the latches with a foreign object, then lift the heat shield with a plastic spudgle.

As for risk of damage using needle, there shouldn't be any if the needle is fine enough, because it fits well into the clip's groove. I had zero issues with the needle coming out and poking the PCB.

To your defense though, I do not think many people are doing anything the correct way :rofl2:

Oh now they're kind of short. But when I changed my thermal paste... Jezz that thing was a nightmare. But I got it off eventually

Just got my lite back from @ModderFokker619 He did a great job! Looks totally untouched, works perfectly! he set up the emunand, installed some basic apps. He repacked it better then I sent and even gave the box the chip came in back lol

Thanks Modder!

Question for the seasoned installers. Do you pre-tin the pads with solder on SP1 and SP2 before placing the ribbon in position on the caps?

i defo pretin the sx lite tho

Ok thanks. I thought it might be easier to pre-tin the pads and then reflow the solder when in position to cover the ends of the caps.
