its a common practice in the west..... i have macbook with a dead graphic card which is embedded ..... so i was advised to bake the whole mobo ! which is no easy task...unless it was a desktop !

but the there chances that the problem may re-occur.

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!
