[Q] Sensation overheating : Replace Snapdragon S3 msm8260 on the main PCB

[ApoorvaB]

Hi guru,

Need some advice on Sensation hardware and its CPU.

I am using CM ROM 9.1 with Universal firmware 3.33 in the search of find a good ROM which does not over heat my CPU

All of a sudden the CPU chip on the main PCB is heating up and sometimes the phone reboots within 5 Mins.

The temperature after 5 mins of phone starting up ranges from 58C to 67C and the Phone's bottom keeps getting very hot.

I have tried to maintain maximum CPU as 1.18 MHz and minimum CPU as 384 Hz and I have not touched the voltages at all. The CPU Gonvernor is set to conservative.

I need some advice on

1. I fear something is wrong with the CPU Hardware. Is there some way I can replace my CPU with a new msm8260 CPU. Is it possible to
remove the CPU from the main PCB.
2. Any other way to fix this? Any scope of troubleshooting possible

Vipers 3.1.2 is the best on low heat in my opinion. 1.6.3 ics version is not good though
