Thanks!
He is heating the whole board so all the solder joint reflow, somewhere around 400F. It's a trick to reflow solder joints on solder on processors but it's a careful balance in reflowing vs overheating. Search goggle on Xbox 360 red rings of death fix and all will be revealed. I did individual components and that worked too. Hope this helps.
