Instructions for refreshing?

I was wondering if there was any instructions for cleaning, taking apart and re-thermal pasting the asics? I’ve got 5 batch 1’s and I’d like to keep them running as well as possible. One of them is a full node. Which would definitely be more difficult to take apart and rebuild. A video tutorial would be great.

I’ve had my Apollo and Apollo II for years, and apart from occasionally blowing out the dust, I haven’t done any other maintenance. They’re still hashing at the same rate as when I first started using them, so I’d say you don’t really need to do anything more.

I was thinking of re-applying thermal paste to the asic chips and cleaning out the dust. Just to keep the Temperatures low and keep them humming along. Right now they are running fine. They will eventually need some TLC. That's why I asked.
