Hi,
linears4, what TAL do you use?
I must concur, that we are dealing with the pcb reflow only and the breakdown may be under the chip itself. That would most certainly explain the 50% success rate with these nVIDIA chips. But it is difficult finding replacements for some of these. I can find the 6150, but not many other models in new stock.

Anyone out there have a good source for other NEW nVIDIA chips like the NVS-110 or the G86-620?

I have another related question for the experts out there. Would it be better to strip the lead free solder off a new chip and replace with leaded balls? I assume the new ones have lead free.
