take it apart, remove the fans, then boot it up.and let it overheat until one of the red rings goes away. This re-melts the solder under the chip and fixes it for a while. if u cant be arsed to take it apart even wrappign it up in a towel and leaving it on does the trick
difficult to believe you can fix these things by forcing them to overheat but I squeezed quite a few months out of my old one by doing this
This only works for a small proportion of people and it doesn’t usually last long. You did well to get a few months out of it. I only got about 10 extra mins with the overheating trick.
You can get better results by removing the heatsink on the GPU, cleaning it and applying more thermal paste. Again, this is sometimes only a temp fix as if I remember correctly it’s often the PCB that warps and the solder balls end up cracking.
