Well, that certainly makes me feel silly. Thank you four hundred and twenty times over.

Spot on. Thanks!

Scoured all the popular font sites and can't seem to find it. Link to image: http://imgur.com/1KhEO

With a link to the full site on the resulting WAP site, of course. I'm curious of everybody else's feelings on the situation. I don't think there's a right or wrong answer. -/Drewcifer

Good idea, I'll let her know tomorrow. Thanks, -/Drewcifer

well that doesn't sound like much fun =P. Are they just using crappy solder? What causes it to die again?

So I got the machine back together and everything seems to be working fine. I ran Furmark in stability test mode for 20min and it stayed at an operating max of 61c without the shims. I'm very appreciative of everybody's willingness to help throughout this process as I learned a great deal and...

It has a heatsink like the F500 that is shared between the CPU and GPU.

Hey folks, Looks like the reflow worked! I have a functioning screen. I only turned it on for a brief second, as I have some copper shims coming later today and don't want to risk overheating the GPU again. I'll post back with a video of it running furmark... Provided everything holds up :)...

I'm terrified of lingering toxins, I try to intentionally expose myself to only one or two sources. -/Drewcifer

Compaq Presario F700 I intend on being quite careful. I just ordered a temperature gun, but it won't be here in time for the project. Some of the videos I watched showed practicing distance, temperature, and duration on a piece of solder first... figured I'd give that a go. -/Drewcifer

Tin-foil and a heat gun doesn't count as a proper station? :) Well that's that, I suppose. -/Drewcifer

Not thinking I'll have any luck with the reflow then, Lorien? F -/Drewcifer

jQuery for sure. time = saved. and if you use it within reason it degrades nicely

Which is obviously not lacking, so I'm gonna have to agree with you that reflow is the next best option. Thanks for your help folks, I'll repost how it went. If it turns out well I've got a stockpile of dead cards that may need nothing more than a new fan after this. I see myself spending too...
