Yup, I've had this issue too and it does come back every so often. The
first time it lasted nearly a year. The second time, it lasted about 9
months.
At some point it will fail to work, or I'll wind up actually damaging
the chip and then it won't work anymore.
Come to think of it, my very first

This method is not limited to "vintage" components.
My MacBook Pro 2011 fails dues to its (famous) problem with the discrete
AMD GPU connections. A reflow restores the laptop, but inevitably I
have repeat the process every few months. Depending on who you believe,
the fault is with the A)

Turns out this is so. 250 CELCIUS maybe, but Fahrenheit? not.

If chip inside consumer stuff is so prone to this failure,
what is the
