Hi,
Has anyone tried to reflow RSX with induction? I'm probably stupid, but I have a couple of COK-002 with GLOD. I don't want to destroy the motherboard with an oven or heat gun. But if you heat up the IHS (via e.g. a bolt) and an induction heater (which you use to heat rusty bolts in e.g. cars). As I understand, it is often between the die and the interposer that the fault lies, and if this would concentrate the heat to that place? Less heat dissipation to other components and contactless transfer of energy that is converted to extreme heat in the bolt (which must not add too much weight/pressure).
Not as a permanent solution but just to get the machine running for a while (without destroying the motherboard, hopefully). I also have a temperature probe that is thin enough to get in between the gap between the IHS and the shim (thermocouple) to measure the temperature.
As I said - a wild thought thrown out into the air...
