    Hi guys,
    I just saw this picture in the copper mod thread and just got a shock after I saw the pictures in the thread.
    Because when I had a look in my M1530 and 1/4 of the bronze looking cooling system is completly black. Looks like something burnt inside but everything is working fine but this scares me a little bit. as I havent posted 15 posts here I cant link any pictures to show you...

    Its not burnt, its a matt paint they put on the heatpipe assembly.

    btw the only thing that can astually burn (as in explode and cause a big fire) is the battery
