This is my first time tearing down a laptop to replace a defective mobo.
If it makes any difference it's a toshiba L305D S5869.
I've got the motherboard out and sandwiched in between the heat sink portion for the gpu there's this square black material covering the chipset and in the center of that is a square of what looks like some sort of membrane made out of what I'm assuming is some sort of thermal pad.
Can this be re-used on the replacement mobo? If not, where do I get another one that is going to be the same size and thickness?
Thx in advance for any help
