I work at an arcade as a mechanic, I know mostly general electronics information, so I don’t know a lot of the more advanced architectural side of computers. My boss told me to reflow a dead GPU to see if it would work, so as per the instruction of the Youtube video, I waved a heat gun over it for 8 minutes. Plugged it back in, and what do you know, it worked.
Why does this work though, from my understanding, all this does is soften the solder for a few moments before letting it cool again.

The idea is that it melts the solder connections so that any broken connections between components and the board can reconnect.
