Liquid Metal Killed my Laptop… Now What?
Linus Sebastian dives into a high-stakes DIY repair on an ASUS ROG Flow X13 gaming laptop that died after a spill of conductive liquid metal thermal paste. He painstakingly strips down the internals, battles corrosion and shorts, and attempts to clean every last drop of liquid metal before it fries another component.
After a dramatic mishap mid-clean, Linus swaps the risky liquid metal for the safer PTM7950 compound, runs thermal benchmarks, and reveals whether this beloved gaming rig can be rescued—or if liquid metal really isn’t worth the gamble.
