Hi, i was wondering if anyone can recommend a professional reballing service in lahore. 5 year old Laptop GPU dying, keeping it alive by wrapping it in towel and overheating it till the solders melt and connection is made again (desi reflowing). Did it twice already, risk burning other components. Any help will be appreciated.

Also, it will be helpful if they deal in xbox 360 (falcon mobo) reballing as well, will fix my old rrod'd machine :p

Just swap the motherboard instead of the graphics card if it isn't discrete. Just like you said if the Laptop is indeed 5 years old. You'll be easily able to find a spare motherboard for cheap at-least in Karachi. Don't know about Lahore.

It's a 5 Year laptop brother. Motherboard would cost you alot less than 15K maybe like 5-8K atleast in Karachi and would be trouble free.

Have you search your local market for its mobo ?
Iam currently in canada, the price i quoted is from online sellers, selling refurbished boards. Ill be visiting lahore for a few months, thought id get my mobo replaced.

I just assumed that the repairmen in lahore would have to order the boards online themeselves, so thats how i came up with the estimated price for repair.

No they don't have to order these board online :p. These boards are pulled from scraped laptops mostly. Hence its very cheap to get it replaced locally. Get it replaced whenever you reach Lahore.

    Gradually transitioning from console gaming to PC as the games are not worth it. 6 hours of Hellblade 2 is just not worth the $50 price tag.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.

    did you try setting up Google Payments? For UBL you may have to get it enabled for internet transactions, Naya should work without it!

    I tried both NayaPay, and UBL, but I keep getting "correct country selected..." error. I already have PK set there 🤦‍♂️

    Nope. They have a very valid case. The above video explains it all.
