BENQ RROD and whisper fan

[Longshanks]

Hi

Had the RROD so did another reflow (did one a year ago which worked likea dream). This time no good but I noticed that the whisper fan doesn't come on and the drive doesn't eject. It's also weird that I can't get any sort of image on the TV screen (originally got E74 but now nothing). Secondary code is 0031 which I know can be related to Southbridge.

Have I got the chicken and egg the wrong way around here? Is it failure of the fan that's caused the RROD?

Update

Reheated GPU, CPU, RAM etc but now get 0110 which I know is related to RAM. Two quick questions if I may:

1. Would this error knock out the fan as it doesn't come on?
2. Would I be best having another go at the RAM chips with the heat gun or do everything again?

Many thanks

That box is toast man. Heatgun likely killed it. I aint saying it to be an a**h**e. Just being honest. Heatgun does more harm than good. e74 is hana or gpu related. By heatgunning the cpu you have now put more possible problems into the mix. If you are lucky you may be able to get it going ,but 0110 can also be a dead gpu. Even if you are lucky enough to get rid of the 0110 error. More than likely you will be faced with another error. Id say toss it .

Judging from all you have done so far, I figure you have by now.

I'll cut to the chase as I can see I'm getting nowhere fast here. I propose to do reheat on the four RAM chips and GPU to fix my 0110 error. I've looked for vids as to how long but there's little agreement.

Can someone advise on heat gun power settings and time for front and rear of MB.

Thank you.
