Wait, are all laptop videocards removable?
I have a 8600M GT on my G1S, afaik, videocards were like "soldered" into the motherboard? I guess I was wrong?

Typically no, the die isn't joined to the package via BGA. If the CPU is soldered onto the board, then the same principle will apply.Originally Posted by shoota
Yeah, this is exactly what we're talking about. The solder balls in between the GPU and the motherboard go bad (at times).
I just tried this on an LCD that started flickering on and off a few months ago. Took the power supply board out and heated the back of it with a hair dryer for 4 or 5 minutes and now it's working great. Great find!
Going to try it out on my 6600gt and 8800gt tomorrow.

some motherboard gpu's are removable...
some are actual cards... heck i have a nvidi 8600 or 8800 m sitting on my desk, its almost like a desktop card minus the fact it plugs to teh mobo with a plastic socket...
also I have revived a few motherboards by running them in a hot shower for 30 min... then baking in oven for 3 hrs or so
This is my signature, there are many like it but this one is mine..
