Great stuff, you should post a tutorial on how to reflow the mobo with a heat gun. It works really good.

I'll probably post one next time I get a box that needs reflowing, just bought a new camera, I think it records 720p video.

Always had trouble repairing RROD until I bought a heat gun, koo HaGGardSmurf It would be a nice addition to all the other tutorials.

i've tryed it n it work's great post thanks

if you dont have a heat gun you can always use your stove top to heat up the board. thats what i use.
just make sure you take all the plastic stuff off your box first. i just leave the board inside the metal case. it leaves a ring on the bottom of the case but it reflows fine.
