[QUOTE="gnarlybole, post: 1919598, member: 403512"] I'm still not convinced by the idea of reflowing. Ten minutes in a conventional oven isn't going to melt solder and remake dry joints. It [I]might[/I] have some effect on the chemical composition of the processor itself, but even that seems unlikely. I suspect that whatever brought my 2009 iMac back to life had more to do with the repasting of the GPU. But, like most people on this forum, I was more interested in the result than the science behind it. However, as it worked for me, I will definitely be stumping up for a Euromillions ticket. [/QUOTE]
