Using a hot air station to fix a cracked solder joint saved me 2 hours
Had a laptop that would randomly shut off. I spent an hour with a soldering iron trying to reflow the GPU pins, no luck. Then I grabbed my 858D hot air station at 350C, hit the area for 30 seconds, and it fired right up. Been stable for a week now. Anyone else find hot air way better for BGA rework than an iron?

Found a cat hair stuck in my hot air station's nozzle last week. Flamed up and smelled like a burnt hair salon for ten minutes.
