Heating issue/screen brightness effected

Could it be possible to give me the dimensions of where the logic board is so I can place some heatsinks to try and keep ipad cooler so the screen don't keep reducing brightness. I'm sure it's a heat issue as once temperature is reduce the brightness of screen returns to normal.

Here's a picture of the iPad 10 without the screen. I've marked out the logic board in the picture; basically if you cool the right edge of the iPad that's where the heat is going to be coming from.

The picture is oriented so you'd be looking at it with the charging port on the bottom.

cheers. Planning to use akasa double-sided thermal conductive tape. I have plenty of small chipset blue heatsinks that should help handle the heat. Poor cooling design on expensive device. Apple solution is to close down apps to reduce processor usage which bring down heat.

@robmods you might want to consider using a 0.3 mm Copper Shim Thermal Pads and some Kapton Tape with your heatsinks. Typically these are used for copper modding graphics cards, but I'm willing to bet that they would work really well in your iPad.
