I did something similar with an xbox 360 I got at a yard sale for $1.  The difference there was that the fix was to add extra bolts to the cooling mechanism, clamping down the weak chip, then running the system for something like 20 minutes to let it overheat and remelt the solder.  It's a good technique if you don't have the smd soldering skills.

Now dosdude1, some of the repairs and upgrades he does requiring BGA soldering are just nuts...
