I just successfully used a heat gun on a XT5300T. Unfortunately I wasn't thinking, and didn't pull the board out of the case before taking the heat gun to it. Now the battery doesn't fit, thanks to the plastic being warped.
I tweaked the screw mounts on the GPU side of the heatsink a bit to see if I could increase the clamping force a bit. It looks like the heatsink is making good contact without shims, once I finish getting files copied I'll fire it up and see what sort of temps I'm getting.
Guess I'll be keeping my eye on Craigslist for the next couple weeks. I'm sure my friend will be happy to get her laptop back even in it's current condition, but I would rather not leave it like this.
