I just finished repasting my G73Jh's GPU, thanks in part to this guide. My GPU now is rocking a 50-60 degrees C idle temp down from 70-80 degrees C.
Battlefield Bad Company 2 no longer overheats my computer! awesome!
It is really not as difficult as I thought it would be, it took a while, but overall was not an epicly difficult task. Even the speaker cable gave me little trouble, though I must agree with the original poster in saying that it is of poor design.
The worst part was removing the keyboard! damn double sided tape.
The cleaning solution recommended (Nail Polish Remover and Q-Tips) is pure brilliance. Thanks.
