Got some expensive laptop! Fixing HP DV7!

So, my cunsultant gave me this laptop that he does not use.
Well, because it was broken, but very nice of him, he gave the laptop for free.
It might not worth anything to him, but it really does mean a lot for me haha.
The laptop looked very slick and new.
It was also beats audio edition with a beats logo.
It had its own subwoofer, and this is technically first time I see laptop with a subwoofer.
This definately will worth a lot of money when I fix this.
The issue was video.
Like other hp laptops.
I think hp really have issues with their graphics card and the heating solution.
I don't understand why they cannot put a nice little copper heat sink and some thermal grease.
That will fix all the issue.
Well, I needed to do a bga reflow!
I even took a video this time!
 Since I took a video of me opening the laptop, there are no pictures while I was opening it. But that is the motherboard.
 After the reflow, I did a brief try, and it worked! yayyyyyyyyyy
 Now putting all back together
 Got a nice new laptop!
:D

Here is the video of me opening it!
