  2. Hi, I’ve got a question: Which converter is responsible for USB C output? I want to build a DIY power bank with PD 3.0 output using a buck/boost converter compatible with PD 3.0. Does anyone know that kind of converter?

    1. Yes, you can remove the heat sink and fan, use a brush to clean the dust on the fan, and use a rag to clear the old thermal paste on the heat sink (CPU and GPU). Then, apply new thermal paste to your CPU and GPU. This will significantly reduce the temperature of your laptop.

  3. Hello, is there any way to take apart the LCD/keyboard/cover assembly of the HP Spectre 13 Pro? I have a busted LCD screen, but the rest is okay, and I don’t need to buy an entire assembly. I’ve taken apart plenty of phones and tablets before, so I think it’ll be possible to repair them by myself. Thanks.

    1. Replacing the display cable is a very complicated job. You need to remove the LCD back cover and the LCD screen, then disconnect the display cable from the LCD screen, and then remove the back cover and disconnect the other end of the display cable from the motherboard, if you are not a professional technician, it is not recommended that you replace the display cable yourself.
