BTW, it's really a surprise that ATI cards ( event desktop ones) can also have the same BGA problem. I though it's just for Nvidia's mobile GPUs.

My 7800Go GTX card in my XPS laptop is also dead (or dying) like your card. I learned that it's called BGA solder joint failure and some guys did fix their cards through backing. I really want to give a try, but it's kind of scary

I will try a company which claims being able to redo BGA first though. Thanks for sharing your experience.

I saw this a few days ago on videosift and i have to agree with the first comment "This has #1 written all over it".

peirz, well, it's probably a good idea to keep it well ventilated.

Mostly it just smells like it does when you solder something.

jari, it's a little bit crazy, but it's absolutely real.

The bottom of background image is still black.

I still confused, is it real or just a joke?

lol?!

Uh, are you sure there's no dangerous fumes coming out of any electronic stuff being vaporized or anything? I know that a laptop/battery on fire produces very dangerous smoke, so uh, dunno

Pretty cool hack though
