Tried to reflow 2 of mine with the issue and failed. I seem to have sold one with the issue. Was working at the time I checked, but maybe transportation had killed it.

The oven method killed one (baked it too hot and/or too long). The hot air method fixed one for a brief moment. Probably needed to tweak heat exposure.
Then I just forgot about trying it and bought a bunch of N900's so if it happens again I can just use one of many spares.
I still own two with the issue and killed one, so in total 3 with the problem.

Not sure if any reflowing will fix it permanently, but it would be nice if it did. Especially if someone can provide a method that is not depending on trial and error.
