I have repaired 4 out of the 7 E73 Units that have been brought to me for repair
by reflowing just the GPU with an Aoyue 968 and an Ownta T-8280 as my preheater.
I have not tried reflowing the Southbridge so I can't be certain if that
works or not. I am pretty sure a heatgun/griddle can get the job done as well.

This EC is a toufy! I recommend the x clamp fix first and if that isn't
helpful try reflowing the southbridge hana area. And even if that doesn't
work... put back the x clamps and put it together and boom you're screwd!
notice: None of this is official, the methods have often been proven to work but success cannot be guaranteed, you do it on your own risk!
If your console is still covered by the 3 year warranty use it because Microsoft will fix it for free!
