If you must, but try it first.

If you do replace use silver paste instead of a pad.

ok, found out it would take ages (5 - 14 days) to get the notebook fixed so
I got a soldering iron and fixed the problem ( I feel like a proper geek now
:) ) but in the process i had to break the contact between the heat sink and
the cpu, should i try to replace the thermal pad that it was sitting on?
