I have same issue (strange instability) in my DQ6 and I have to check what you discovered.
remove the motherboard if it is installed

remove the screws fro the nb and sb (you'll need to remove the stickdown plate on top of the nd heatsink), there is a back plate on the sb that you need to keep an eye on.

use pliers to remove the push-pins from the mobo on the mosfet sinks.

remove the heatpipe assembly

Assembly is reverse of removal - easy!
