I strongly recommend using the ext-autogen to confirm that your panel is good - Nothing is worse than than fixing one fault only to find your panel has dead lines/pixels or a bad buffer - though if it was your personal set and you know the picture was fine before the main board failed you can rule this out.
I have used a hot air station set at 350 degrees celcius and a generic hardware store heat gun that isn't calibrated set to max.

Yeah I bought a $20 dual temperature heatgun kit complete with all of the different attachments and what not and I was using it on the low setting (1000W 700°F) which didn't seem to be hot enough to melt the solder so I used it on the high setting (1500W 920°F) as per your suggestion and it finally melted the solder for me so I think it might finally be fixed now just need to plug it back into the back of the tv and see if it works now.
