That's why I paid a tech $25 to do the soldering for me. He re-flowed all the pins under a microscope.

THANK YOU Hobbit

everything seems ok now.

FYI the cost of the repair was around 3000$ if you listen to the local toy shop.

when you come to france let me know...

Hmm, so my MFD is acting up again. Radio and A/C don't work. Energy Monitor doesn't show the arrows but the wheels move.

Time to resolder.
I used a specialist and I expect my repair to last a long time.
If it plays up again I'll just pull it out and fix it again.

resolder? you mean the motherboard? The dealer told me my dad to replace the motherboard for Cdn$1,200. Galaxee said the symptoms displayed are not indicative of the classic MFD failure. I'm so confused.

That sounds like what mine did. Have you read the MFD thread by Hobbit?
Mine the radio would go off or when the MFD was acting up the radio was on but if I pressed the audio button the screen says audio off and when you press the Climate button a message says the AC signal isn't available or something like that.
Either way I'd re-solder the plug to the board as in Hobbit's instructions, there is little to lose and a lot to gain.
