Indeed, a little bit of compression on there had it running nicely. Also ensured to make sure the shim had decent heat transfer to the heat shield.
It's been up and running for about 8 hours now. We wanted to make sure this was really working, so we conducted a few tests.
- Heat Up & Cool Down
- System Burn-In
- Sudden Motion Test (rapidly swinging the machine to see if the chip could be unseated again)
- Standard Idle Test
- Teardown Test
Now to clarify the teardown test, this is where we put the machine together, let it run in for 30 minutes, then pulled it apart again, checked it over and reassembled. Even with the shim taken off, moved around, flipped over, etc the machine still works. So it's not a sensitive issue.
We did this after the sudden motion test to ensure no components had come loose. All was well.
10.3.9 is up and running on the machine now. It has given me a fairly decent reading of the battery, and the minutes are falling in time (aka. one minute of reported battery life equals an actual 60 seconds). The total life of this battery...
3 Hours, 40 Minutes. 8)
