This is EXACTLY what I was thinking. Since the buy out I sure hope AlienWare doesn't loose it.

HAHAHAHA now that is funny. i always wondered what you got for the extra $$$ over building your own. now i know!
scrape that crap off and then clean with isopropyl alcohol, get some proper thermal paste and re seat it. your temp should go way down.
if its a fan attached to that wire, maybe just get a new fan but as long as its not shorted out put some tape around it for now
(if the fan doesn't work, then its shorted)
I would so send an E-mail to whoever you can over at alien ware with those pics. That is just priceless. In fact, put it up on the digg site for maximum exposure. I'll get hundreds of people to digg it so it will end up on the diggnation podcast. That is to good to pass up on =).
