Beginning the process of installing a hp 10544 in what had held the Hp
10811 temporarily by adding some wires for power to the 10544. Pulled the
main board out and what a mess I discovered. HP installed some rubber feet
to support the main boards and they have melted and turned to gue. Whats
interesting is the stuff ran all over the mainboard. Like it wicked upward.
Can't be good and no idea if the stuff actually has conductivity to some
level in this state. Seems to clean up well with rubbing alcohol. But will
be a job and many cotton swabs will give their life in the process.
Maybe the stuff is alive.
Just a heads up to Z3801 folks.
