| 1277060 | 2012-05-27 03:54:00 | I have access to a heat gun, I would be happy to have a go reflowing your chip for you. Haven't had any experience with large motherboard chips though. Definitely no guarantees, if I completely wreck your computer it won't be my fault :) PM me if interested, I'll be free later this week | forrest44 (754) | ||
| 1277061 | 2012-05-27 06:29:00 | Thanks Forrest. I'm not sure if Hueybot is still keen to do it, but if he isn't I'll definitely take you up on that offer. Who's more confident at doing this? I don't really mind who does it, and I know neither of you can guarantee anything and that's no problem. Also since I'm not very tech savvy, would whoever does it be able to actually remove the mobo from the laptop as well? |

| 1277062 | 2012-05-27 06:30:00 | Hey I dont have a heat gun, but can get a hold of one. Dismantling laptops is ok if your careful, putting them back together is fairly easy | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 1277063 | 2012-05-27 08:29:00 | I've taken a few laptops apart. They're a bit fiddly but generally OK if you're careful. I've experience soldering fine stuff but haven't done anything with BGA chips before so it would be a new experience for me. | forrest44 (754) | ||
| 1277064 | 2012-05-27 08:50:00 | Err well I'm happy for either of you to do it. Whoever it is the less hassle for, let me know. But still not that keen on taking the laptop apart myself, don't want to wreck anything before you even get the chance to try and fix it. |
