Hey guys,

I've got two separate hardware issues that need some chip-level / BGA rework expertise, and I'm looking for solid shop recommendations in Chennai.

1. Motherboard: Need to get an AM5 socket replaced entirely (bent pins).
2. GPU: Have a graphics card that's acting up. I suspect it might need reballing, but I need a shop that can actually properly diagnose it, and let me know what the actual root cause is before jumping straight to a fix.

Ritchie Street seems like the obvious place to look, but it’s a minefield if you don't know exactly who to trust for precision work like an AM5 socket swap.

Has anyone actually gotten successful BGA rework or socket replacements done recently? Let me know which shops/technicians you've had good experiences with! Thanks.
