just a question
you want to "reball" the gpu? so basically heating it up to melt the solder balls for better connection?
My first advice= buy a new card
The problem is that some components can withstand heat, while other cannot.
To make it professionally you would need a reballing station, that is like $3000, to apply the correct heat to the correct place

I tried the heatgunning version it failed all the time
anyway, the aluminium should be for protecting the components, but they are far away from good to do that.

So if you can then give it a go, but do not expect any good result or long lasting result, and prepare to get a new card

oh wait
it Does work? what problems? the reheating should be the verylast step, as it will kill it probably it
but if its work, then probably its not solder contact fault
GPUs tend to di over time :/

dude.
did you even bothered to read my comments?
of course it did not work, it is like you want to cut someones hair with a chainsaw, not fine enough.... I would be glad if it works, even if it can display anything at all...
