Weird sound from the Charger.
Hello everyone, for a few days my charger for my Predator Helios neo 16 (I713700HX & RTX 4060) PHN16-71 has been making a weird zipping sound like flowing electricity and not getting connected with my laptop easily, and after readjusting the charger and the cables, it's getting detected and stopping that sound. So does anyone in this community know what's happening and how to fix it?

Overheating fixed.
Hello everyone, a few weeks ago I posted about the experience of applying PTM7950 to Predator laptops like my Predator PHN16-71 (I7 13700HX and RTX 4060) and got to hear some insightful experiences which really extended my knowledge and gave me enough perspective to approach the repasting properly, so here is my experience:
As you can see first I covered the entire motherboard with tissue paper and
as you can see the liquid metal was totally oxidized and moved from the hotspot; it took me two hours to clean it properly because I was going slow and careful and took me 60 Q-tips and some 99.9% IPA. After proper cleaning of the CPU die and the heatsink, I applied the PTM7950, and my laptop booted successfully.
Here are my Cinebench R23 results after the repasting. Before that, my laptop was always on 90°C, even ideally, but after the repasting, my temperatures climbed to 100°c before the phase change, and after that, it quickly fell down below 80°c and never climbed above. Honestly temperature spikes still happen, but they are not sustained like before now. while playing games before it was always 90 to 95°C, but now it rarely goes beyond 80.
