Check if all thermal pads are present for the memory chips on the board, along with the little plastic thing that goes under the 4 screw clamp. The 4 screw clamps should be facing downwards. Then on some models there’s an extra metal cover that has the thermal pads on it instead of being on the large metal plate that goes over the whole logic board.

Make sure all of the black phillips head screws are screwed in around the vrm area. This needs to be screwed on the back plate and not the logic board.

Refer to step 11 and 12 of this guide on the thermal pads for the logic board:

I don't understand much what is the logic board

by

@rasecpadilla137 The logic board is the large green main board that all the modular components such as the blu-ray drive, fan and hard drive connect to.

@benjamen50 sorry for the inconvenience I have to ask you something I am not a specialist in this and when I cleaned the processor I hit the processor with a flat screwdriver I imagine that I will scrape it or something you think that affects excuse the inconvenience.

by

Yes if it hits the corner or edges of the APU main processor chip that can cause it to turn on and / off or show no display.

I don't believe that would trigger the thermal shut down though unless it's short circuiting the chip which burns it.
