U need more heat, especially with modern ROHS standard, manufacture are required to use lead-free solder which melt at roughly 217C, compare to the leaded solder which melt at 180C. A hair dryer only can provide at best 110C. Try a heatgun next time.

yeah ...i think a hairdryer is not enough to melt it!

And also there another myth that circulating around wink.gif
Some say that it is not the BGA solder itself that gone bad, is the bumpgate itself that is bad, bumpgate is the joints that connect the silicon die to the chip carrier. In the layer, the solder is ruined. That also can be reflow to get it fix temporally, and that also what explain why some laptop after a reball the exact same prob come back again. During the process of removing the chip from the board, the bumpgate are exposed to heat therefore being "fixed". Is the process that fix it, not the reball that fix it.

Specifically for apple, i dunno where, but most of the laptop specialist repair shop got do. And don't ask me where to do, because i never send my stuff to get it done before.
Before u think of reballing, watch this :

I have previously tried doing it to my msi gtx560 two years ago and how stupid am I , I baked the card upside down, .. capacitors facing down. after baking I notice all the caps falls off , so please be aware of this if you guys want to try. haha , then a month  ago my bros gtx 460 got artifact, I baked it the right way and to my surprise it really works. hopefully It will last for another year or so.

Hmm... So in the end do u resolder those cap back yourself ?

And also another advise is don't attempt to bake cards that still using electrolytic capacitors, they are rated 105C max, u are gonna heard it burst and pop.
