They say pics or it didn't happen so here's a top-secret photo smuggled out of Intel's packaging facilities showing the return to solder!
And yes, to those of you who are about to post... I know.

But hey, at least she has safety goggles!
And I'm just assuming her hands are made of asbestos.

Actually, to be completely honest, I have recapped one or two motherboards that way in the distant past. However, those boards were not particularly valuable and the RS iron was the only one available at the moment of need.
