These two black round buttons on the chip are likely control switches. They probably adjust settings or functions related to the Wi-Fi performance. Pushing them both might reset or configure the device, so it’s a common step when troubleshooting. Don’t worry about worrying too much—just follow the usual reset procedure if needed.
Don't stress, just make sure the PC is powered on before proceeding. If you're unsure, it's safer to wait until it's fully active.
You're safe from worry. The actions you performed are similar to this: when you pressed down, you slightly compressed the spring, and when you released the pressure, it returned to its normal form—no damage occurred. If you need to remove the heatsink from the chipset, for example when changing thermal paste, you should push gently from above, then lightly compress the plastic components at the bottom, release the pressure, and the piece should come out through the opening. The pins are designed to expand, wider than the motherboard holes, so they must be squeezed to narrow them. However, avoid squeezing if the spring is pressing the plastic against the board, as that could cause damage.
Hey there, thanks a lot! I really appreciate it and don’t need to worry. Your idea was great—hope you got it right! If not, just know you’re cool too! 😄
