Hence the need for it to be reballed and set back on the motherboard. Seems pretty easy actually as I repair cell phones and do a lot of soldering I just dont have the proper tools to do it myself so i will just send it to this PS3Specialist guy for him to do and he seems pretty legit.
ahh yup, how much would that cost?
