Can we talk about that repair shop in Portland that changed my mind on reflowing Xbox 360s?

I used to think reflowing with a heat gun was a total scam. Then I visited Axion Repairs in Portland last spring and watched the owner spend 15 minutes explaining his process. He showed me how he uses a thermocouple to keep the board at exactly 185 degrees, not just guessing. After seeing him fix three consoles in a row with no issues, I tried his method on my own dying 360. Has anyone else had a shop prove a repair technique works better than you thought?

Did your friend manage to avoid the red ring after watching that demo?

Honestly yeah, I just told my friend to stay still and it worked fine.
