Liquid Metal Thermal Interface Kit
The original liquid metal has migrated due to gravity and surface tension failure, creating a high-resistance thermal barrier (dry spot). Reapplying a high-thermal conductivity Galinstan-based material restores the essential heat transfer path between the APU die and the heatsink assembly.

APU Thermal Foam Dam/Seal
The protective foam barrier prevents the electrically conductive liquid metal from leaking onto the SMD components surrounding the APU. If a leak is symptomatic, the original adhesive seal has likely failed or been breached, necessitating a replacement to ensure future containment of the liquid metal.

Nickel-Plated Copper Heatsink Assembly
Persistent overheating can lead to oxidation or pitting of the nickel plating on the heatsink contact plate where it meets the liquid metal. If the surface is no longer perfectly planar and chemically stable, a full replacement is required to maintain the required thermal interface efficiency.
