Im curious how you would repair a dead cpu? Yes I know its possible with a hot air rework station and a new part but is it a economic way of repair. Also where are you going to get a new CPU? I often see faulty phones such as the iPhone on ebay selling for ridicules amounts of money, maybe only saving $150 on a working unit. I saw one the other day that had been dropped in salt water and it was over $300, tell me that's ever going to be repairable, the insides will be totally corroded. So Im wondering if the people who buy faulty phones with the intent of repairing them actually do or just hope there going to be lucky and get it working by rubbing it on there shirt or something.
