About the thermal paste, as long as it isn't electronically conductive it doesn't matter how much you put.

How the eject gears broke off, we'll never know. Thankfully the lid is still functionable and I feel most people slide it open anyways.

My guess is just an accident. And this one didn't show signs of abuse either. The Super Slims are made with super flimsy plastic that breaks easily. I've worked on quite a few and each time something breaks even when being careful. Spoiler, in part two I broke a piece just by putting a screw in 😳

The shells for these are really flimsy those break from the spring that the eject button uses all you have to to to get tension back on the spring is back the screws out enough to free the gears then spin the spring gear some and it adds tension to make the door open. You can use a small screw as a post replacement too if a post snaps. There's a video on KZitem somewhere of someone doing this.

Would you happen to know where one could get the ribbon cables for these things. I took mine apart and the ribbon cable that, I believe, operates the motor (the 9 pin ribbon cable), the blue backing thing came off and the ribbon cable seems kind of weird so, I just stuck it back in and put the blue backing piece in separately to make it tight but now the motor doesn't want to work and I'm wondering if the ribbon cable is broken inside or something or if the contacts might be screwed up enough that it isn't making a good connection. So, I'd like to see if I can just get a new ribbon cable for it.

Those ribbon cables are annoying. I used to break the blue piece off all the time. If the piece isn't in just right it won't have a good connection. They're pretty easy to find. I've gotten them mostly on eBay when I've needed them. You may be able to find them on Amazon too. Mouser and Digikey will probably have them too but if you're new to ordering parts it can be overwhelming on those sites lol. Plus when you add in shipping it may cost more than just buying off eBay.
