Amazing! <1% of us could have fixed that, I sure couldn't have. I would have bought a new CPU board.

But you know, What happens when you cant buy another CPU card? Thats the way I look at things. Yes when replacing is easier, you always wanna plan for stuff like this, because nothing lasts for ever, and neither does parts. ive learned this the HARD way repairing TVs.

I had no idea that you could reflow with a toaster oven and a heat gun as you've described. Thanks for the info, it will definitely save me some parts in the future. I do still have my old Pismo CPU board with bad cache, maybe it only needs a reflow.
