Re: Dell E7440 no signs of life
The BEST (QUICK clone) can get hotter upto 550C. Have not validated it but have used the 550C setting often on the heavier ground planes of macbook boards.
Also check around for an underside pre-heater which will be required for the thick PCBs - like the Asus which would not budge the bios IC even @ 550C.
With a pre-heater, it should be possible so you can attack the part from top side and bottom. We recently purchased a HAKKO pre-heater for this purpose.
