Just watched the Video and cant believe how easy it is to fix this issue.

As long the individual has a heat gun the process is as easy as A, b, c.

Yea but sometimes it dont work at all and once you have fixed it it could still overheat..

Best bet is to fix it and then sell it on ebay and then get your self a slim line one

A re-ball of both the CPU and GPU chips will fix this problem. They will be like new once they have been re-balled and re-seated.
