I’m not sure if this is related to my other topic, so I’m starting a new thread.
I opened my laptop looking for a possible problem with one of the USB-C connectors to instead find this:
An internal piece of plastic appears to have partially melted in one spot (the one highlighted in this article: https://knowledgebase.frame.work/en_us/one-port-on-my-laptop-does-not-function-correctly-r1mqMnTet).
The highest temperature I’ve ever seen on the laptop on any core has been in the lower 90s deg C (for a minute or two). The highest temperature I’ve seen reported by acpitz-acpi-0
(no idea which part that is) has been exactly 100 deg C. The only parameters I’ve messed with have been invoking TLP and setting the CPU governor to performance once in a rare while.
I’d rather not mess with pulling the sticker up without knowing what the heck is underneath it.
Any idea on what’s going on?
