High-Performance Thermal Interface Material
Factory-applied thermal grease on Inspiron models often dries out and loses its phase-change properties over 2-3 years, becoming an insulator. Replacing it with high-thermal-conductivity compound restores the physical bridge between the CPU/GPU and the heat sink, preventing the Thermal Control Circuitry (TCC) from triggering a safety shutdown.

Internal CPU Cooling Fan
The centrifugal blower in the Inspiron 15 is prone to 'lint caking' between the fan blades and the exhaust fins, which is often inaccessible without disassembly. If cleaning does not restore RPM or if the fluid dynamic bearings have failed (causing noise or low CFM), a new fan is required to maintain the required airflow for heat dissipation.

Thermal Cooling Heat Sink Assembly
If the laptop continues to shut down after repasting, the internal working fluid in the copper heat pipe may have leaked due to a micro-fracture. A compromised heat pipe cannot transport thermal energy from the die to the cooling fins, necessitated a full replacement of the copper assembly.
