A4000D Motherboard cold solder reflow successful!

[tonyvdb]

So Ive been taking to a friend about my Amiga 4000 intermittent issues. He suggested putting the entire motherboard into the oven at 350F for no more than 10 min to basically reflow the solder.
Seems like sound advice given at this point I have very little to loose.

any thoughts to this?

UPDATE:
I decided to try it and it was fully successful! everything is functioning and no more issues with video dropouts and intermittent ram loss.

well the list is rather long,
Intermittent video, I have the Indovision AGA (sometimes video just drops out or does not even show) Ive reset the indovision a couple times.
Ram cuts in and out (already removed and cleaned with eraser and rubbing alc)
I have striped down to the bare motherboard and it still happens if i put pressure on the board in random spots.
The frustration is simply that when I start putting things back in it becomes even more flaky.
I also have issues with my Wico joysticks not working right (not centered and work strange)
Ive posted questions on these issues here and it just seems to be the age of the motherboard in general.

Well, I decided to try it because I love to live dangerously LOL
Let it cool and put everything back together and low and behold, everything is working 100%!

I still have to test the joysticks but all ram is reporting, no more video dropouts and nothing is visibly wrong.

On a side note I towerised the A4000d a long time ago and replaced the power supply with a good quality 400watt ATX PS and modded the connector so it would fit the motherboard. The battery was replaced a few years back and there was no damage from the previous one.

The ram sockets did fine (I removed the ram when I did this as well as the 3640). The only part that seems to have been slightly warped and I mean slightly was the Buster 11 chip socket however as I said everything is working perfectly

Just out of curiosity would a heat shrink gun (paint remover) work?

So, here is everything back together and running.
So far no glitches
