[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1919590, member: 56379"] Trying to reflow a GPU is a very very very very risky venture. When you reflow the GPU...you're basically melting the solder that connects the GPU to the board it's mounted on...hoping that the broken solder connection related to the GPU is restored/repaired during the reflow process. Of course the solder connections to the GPU are not the only solder connections that are melted on the board...every solder connection on the board is melted/liquified...thus a great chance something else could suffer an issue in the reflow process. Trying something like this should be the absolutely last thing you try (after you've tried every other troubleshooting possibility)...since you may ruin the board. If ruined...you won't even be able to sell it for parts. Nick [/QUOTE]
