Yea, a reflow will only last, at max, a month or so. The only way to fix it permanently is to have it "reballed." That's where they clean off the old solder and actually use lead solder, which is more resilient against high temps. That's the main reason many older game systems still work is they contained lead solder. Unfortunately, governments decided to fuck over consumers and outlaw it.
