best RROD fix

[moonknight]

Been using a heat gun with liquid flux to repair RROD lately, fix rate seems the same as xclamp fix. Would it be a better fix to install x-clamp replacement after reflowing with heat gun?

[louisM92]

what i normally do is a reflow then a xclamp repair, worked everytime so far

i use a heat gun too followed by xclamp mod but i only do the GPU, CPU and the ANA (HANA) chips with the heat gun, was wondering should i start doing the full board?

99% of RROD is GPU, no need to overheat the CPU.

Sometimes you'll need to do the ana chip but thats only if you have an ana error.

thanks man in fact ive got a E74 to do this weekend so take it thats a dry joint around the ana?

[HaGGardSmurf]

Yep, as far as I know thats the issue.

The ana deals with all audio and video, so if your having audio/video issues it'll be GPU, if that doesnt fix it, it's the ana.

E74 is the ana 99% of the time.

Also, your not going to ever want to do the full board, there are lots of heat sensitive components on the board that will not do well under heat. Especially the capacitors.

It's best to use tin foil or foil tape and cover the parts of the board your not reflowing, but remember the foil will get hot so dont rest it up against a capacitor, as the heat will transfer into it.
