Everyone knows it's a godforsaken pain to try and change a laptop GPU (if not impossible).
But for fun and knowledge how hard is it exactly?

I guess this is a soldering thread

For the record, no I'm not attempting to do it I just want to know what /diy thinks.

it will be a reflowing job, so it will depend on your oven and your skills, but unless you already have such equipments i.e. oven, solder, etc, and have experience in reflowing it is often not worth it because it will be almost impossible for a first timer diy to not fuck up.

>>1048524
forgot to mention, you need special solder balls specific for reflowing, which is another thing you have to buy, again, its a huge pain to set up correctly, unless u are pro, or you are just doing for fun and dont mind fuck it up, it is not worth the hassle and risk

Bottle of hard liquor.
Heat gun.
Tweezers.

Remove allegedly broken part.
Place replacement part.

Bottle of hard liquor.
Toaster over.
Reflow solder flux.
And bout 20 min.

Test.

Trash the whole thing and buy a new mac-book air.

Don't hold the soldering iron like a pen
