I don't have the courage or mental fortitude that Wizard has to reapply thermal paste on my fat one. I heard the skinnies not only don't need them as often, but they're also easier π«£
For the most part. I got lucky with my model. There's some skinnies that have the blueray drive on a ribbon cable and you have to be careful with those.
Dying capacitors are the bane of my existence. I barely have a soldering iron that works. It's no wonder I refuse to buy an original Xbox. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uy-btflp0-U

Still, if you have the chance and courage, you should repaste it when you feel confident enough to do so. At least to get the dust out of the console.
