Thermal Camera Short Detection
A high-resolution FLIR thermal camera isolates the exact shorted capacitor or glowing internal Southbridge silicon die.
Dark Infrared BGA Desoldering
Using a precision BGA rework station with multi-zone heating profiles, the damaged Southbridge IC is lifted cleanly at 235C.
Pad Conditioning & Fresh IC Reballing
The motherboard BGA pads are wicked clean, and a brand-new Sony CXD Southbridge IC is aligned with laser optics and soldered.

The board is cooled, standby voltages verified on oscilloscope, and the system stress-tested under 4K gaming loads for 2 hours.
