HP ProBook 4520s

Hello people, I got this one 2 days ago.
Gives me artifacts on external display but nothing on the main display. Of course this would indicate a bad GPU, but someone reballed it earlier, and I think he overdid it with the temps.
What would you guys do buy new, try reball or get a used one
we speak here about the hd5470.

New or used GPU does not matter here, but definitely needs to be replaced. I just hope you won't find any surprises once you lift the chip (broken pads).

The only reason why I don't wanna lift it are the "pads".
Hate when it happens that someone worked on it , and I start the reball process and bam the laptop won't turn on at all (of course after replacing the chip it works), but the customer ain't that much into this to know the difference.

All in all, I'll report and suggest a chip replacement.
The chip is also bent on the left side.
