Resoldering the U8900-chip on the non retina MBP mid-2012?

Hey people, i have a Macbook Pro 15 mid-2012 (A1286), so non retina here. It has a black screen, external video works though, sometimes i even get video on the internal screen when i disable the 650M by software-mod but it's very inconsistent. For the retina-model there was a common problem that the U8900 chip needed resoldering. But i couldn't find much on the web for the A1286 model: Where is the U8900 on that board? Is it the same procedure as for the retina models?

Here are pictures: https://imgur.com/a/E1rUIbG. It shouldn't be the cable as it came with the new display assembly. The socket looks also fine to me...
