Graphics card is bad.
I have a MacBook Pro 15" (Model A1211) 2.16 GHz. Just need to know if the Graphics card is located on the logic board? if not, where is it?

Yes it is soldered to the logic board.
Re-flow is a "shade tree fix" it may work, may not work. If it works it may work for just a little while or for quite a while.
A DIY re-flow is risky - one person here recently baked a logic board in an oven and had components fall off! Since they had no pictures they had no clue where the parts came off.
A "professional" repair or re-flow from a service on e-bay is a different animal... but only you can do the cost analysis .
If this answer is acceptable please remember to return and mark it.
