HP Recommended
Product: HP 530
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 (32-bit)

Hi friends, I have a Laptop HP 530 since a long time ago, always did maintenance just for the fan, but recently i tought was time to make the maintenance service to processor and video chipset. But big was my surprise when i removed the heat sink and only the processor had thermal paste, but the video chipset didndt, just a kind of adhesive cloth on the heat sink, i already changed the thermal paste from the processor, but my problem is the thermal agent for video chipset, i hope you can help me:
1.- To know what it is, or which could i replace it with, with ¿thermal pad or thermal adhesive tape? Searching on the web, i found those options, but i dind't find any recomendation from the HP Manual(http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01039180.pdf), it just says:


"The thermal material must be thoroughly cleaned from the surfaces of the video processor (1), the processor (2), and the heat sink surfaces (3) and (4) each time the heat sink is removed"


Just says thermal material, but didn't say what material is, not even feautures, thickness, recommended conductivity, just named thermal material, i hope you can help me please.
