Let’s say you have a computer, Xbox 360, or PS3 that doesn’t want to work today. Computer wise, it could be a desktop with nVidia GeForce 6000 series graphics or newer, such as an emachines with a 300w PSU, an HP DV6000 AMD Laptop. You power on the machine, but get nothing on the screen, although the fans are running. Xbox wise, you have a 360 which is showing the red ring of death (RROD), or you aren’t getting a clear picture on the screen. PS3 wise, you’re getting errors or artifacts on the screen. Well, all you need are some tools to disassemble the dead whatever it may be, along with a heat gun. Keep in mind, in order to ensure future reliability of whatever device you are reflowing, you need to be sure that the cooling system is working and installed properly. defective cooling systems or improperly installed cooling systems are what cause this problem. Watch as I reflow this originally dead eMachines FIC motherboard and bring it back to life as if nothing ever happened!
