What is this thing on my mobo?
« on: November 29, 2012, 04:30:25 PM »
So opened my ndsl for the 1st time I found this white blob.

Thermal Paste? Never seen it on other peoples tear downs.

its probably some type of insulator, so it doesn't touch any other metal i see that alot on stuff now days , so they dont short out against other components or interfere with other components  just a wild guess

Wow never seen that before ive opened a crap load of ds lites etc even 3ds never seen that before
Honestly dont think its a thermal paste substance
Sure you didnt spill anything on it?
Ps make sure your careful when attaching the touch screen back on I ripped the black piece on the connector that holds the ribbon cable in place it was a nightmare to solder it on

If you try to remove it, you will probably do more harm than good.  I suggest leaving it where it is.

ahh guess upper screen is broken, then. But The Screw on the mobo is soo stripped.

I couldnt get it off even if I wanted to now, haha.

I guess this is just a hard lesson to learn. :/

Matt is right: don't try to get it off. 3D0, you just got lucky i guess lol

I think that is just some kind of epoxy to keep people from bridging connections on the circuit board or trying to probe into the electronics.

You see this stuff all the time on CD drive motherboards:
