I've been contemplating on opening up my A305 laptop to replace the stock thermal grease w/ AS5. The laptop is almost a year old by now. I use to repair Toshibas so opening the unit won't pose a problem as I've opened plenty already, but I'm just not sure if it'll be worth the work to replace the thermal compound although I know AS5 is one of the best products out there. All my previous Toshibas were salvaged ones where I repaired and kept and had AS5 in all of them, so I've personally haven't had a chance to see the difference of before/after addition of compound. Any feedback is appreciated, thanks.
