Thanks for the question. You can also reflow the entire board either in a toaster oven (just make sure you prop it up so SMD's don't come off), or using a heatgun/hair dryer if it can get hot enough. If you put it in an oven or something, make sure it's clean before you use it to cook again.. you don't want to eat any of the metals or gasses that come off of the board and solder. Also, this is a very temporary fix. It wont last very long because the solder will harden and crack again once it reboots a few times. I'd suggest having your stuff ready to get it transferred as fast as possible!
I was able to turn the phone on for long enough to get data off of it. After 2 days it didn't work again. I believe the solder is really low quality and as soon as it thermally cycles, it "cracks" again unfortunately.
Hello, Unfortunately I can't really take orders for repairs myself.. I don't have a storefront or anything set up to do so. In another comment down below I mentioned to another user that it's possible to use a toaster or maybe even a hairdryer/heatgun to get it hot enough. You just need to get the solder up to flow just enough to make the connections on the chip again, but odds are after it heatcycles a few times it'll break again. This is a temporary fix to a flawed design by LG and there's not much more you can do outside of resoldering the chip yourself.
Thanks for that advice. That would certainly help hest transfer but the solder LG used is bad and developes cracks under a few heating cycles when it's old and unfortunately paste won't help there.

Any other options to use besides a $200 piece of heating equipment?
I just need to recover pictures.

Approx how long does this fix last for?

Bad phone all time.i have 2 lg v10 all same problem.
Agreed. They're made to fail.
You want a permanent solution? Add some computer thermal paste to SOC before reassemble the phone
