Does anyone know if the heatsink of a Lombard daughterboard can be removed, and how? I've replaced the heat pad, but it's still running quite hotter than the Pismo (and at 100Mhz less… the Pismo has a decent heat sink compared to this, but still), so I wonder if there's some heat paste between the CPU and the sink that needs replacing.

However I don't see any obvious way to remove it, and I don't want to force it and rip the CPU out of the board. #MARCHintosh #RetroApple

For my second entry in #marchintosh is this #spicyPillow in a 2012 Mac Pro. IIRC I picked this up at #EFM #electronicsFleaMarket on the cheap, fully intended for a project but was packed up from the move. Unpacked the box this weekend, and noted the lid being pushed out – and upon opening noted the touchpad broken in half.

I opened it up & pulled out the spicy pillow, installing a spare battery I had on hand. Connected power, and it booted! The touchpad works, but to click/double click you have to push down to make the touchpad level while clicking/double clicking. Time to find a replacement touchpad, and when I do then also max out the RAM while installing an SSD.

A bit dusty but looks good! I don’t see any cap juice. #retroApple
Mandatory photo of the signatures! 😁 Also, it doesn’t look bad at all inside? Caps look ok… no corrosion from the battery terminals that leaked a bit. Kinda wonder if this would just work if I turned it on. But I’m more interested in the board for now. #retroApple
Time to start looking into this fellow! #retroApple
