Comes in very handy at times.

Thing is the chip may not have failed, it could just require re-flowing, the only ones that have been a real pain are the TC series tablets because the video BGA is on the edge of the board with onboard ram ICs making a thermal reflow more difficult, and a Dell XPS series which has a failed Maxim power management IC in a 24 pin micro BGA package we can't obtain a replacement for easily.
