why do you think randomly heating the pcb will somehow magically fix it?
Rasz,
I was hoping for a quick fix. I realize reflowing the board is a longshot, but it is a dumpster-dive TV and I have nothing to loose. On other repair forums, there seems to be a lot of people that have gotten success that way.
If a hot air tool has more chance of success, then I will try that. It would not be "random" reheating, but focus on the big BGA chips.
Anyhow, what is the "proper" way? I'll post pictures in a few days. The TV does no go past the boot screen, people have said reflowing the main board is a good bet.
Any input is appreciated.
Regards,
