Re: Laptop component-level repair recommendations?

Has the chip got side legs or no legs?? If side then most component level repair places can do it (they're hot air soldered to remove and then paste soldered with hot air or extremely fine tip to replace). Sorry to say but the only ones that I know were supporting large companies and not walk-ins.

If the chip has no legs then even a lot of companies can't repair (they're originally flow or friction soldered) and the boards tend to be swapped out back to the manufacturer
