Has anyone tried reflow on this graphics card? We have problems with corrosion here and a lot of the solder points look suspicious to me. The capacitor pins look like they are sitting in craters, the board solder looks almost detached.
The card had been going downhill since I bought the system. HDMI worked for over 8 months then quit but found that DVI still worked so used that with a vga adapter for another 6 months of so. Then card would power up but no video output from anything.
I was going through various postponed projects when I did the inspection on the card and noticed nearly all solder points looked weak. I though I would ask before I try to find a heat gun or do them one by one with solder iron.
Thanks,
Bill
