Revived my dead thought tx2 (Raden 3200HD) yesterday. Let's see, how long this lasts. Only heated it with the hot air gun - no pressure or touching the chip.

@jetpack1986 It worked perfectly for a month, then the symptoms started to come back. Now its serving it's time as a paperweight/spare part depot

Try a copper shim and lower your gpu temps. Only $5 and comes with thermal paste. Search for "tx1000 copper shim" on ebay.
I used a heat gun to do the trick and i also made a funnel out of duck tape and tin to direct the heat on the Nvidia Chip and applied a little presser on the chip as it was cooling . But for some reason now my WiFi just quit out on me now after 4 days of use after the FIX!!?
should I buy a new WiFI card for the tablet or is the card no geting any power?
It recently did some updates so ill check if it has to do something with the updates erroring out the os/ drivers

I suspect you did not installed the WiFi card as it is was before you remove it. check if it is properly seated on it position.

i read this air soldering is a more pernament fix compared to the hot lamp solution. so is it just a matter of heating up around the chip or do u put pressure on it aswell? thanks

The trick is you must melt the lead beneath the GPU... Do not disalign the chip's position. You should practice this method in some defective boards... Once perfected then you're ready to go. Remember "PRACTICE MAKES US PERFECT".
