Fix Your Graphics Card By Baking In Oven

The concept behind this method is simple: Reflow Soldering.

Commercial Electric circuit boars are made of SMT IC’s (Surface Mount Technology). These IC’s are soldered on the board by placing a layer of solder on the board, placing the ic’s and then passing the entire thing through a Oven or a hot air blower. The places of electrical contacts get attached, while the rest of the solder melts and flows away.

Over time, these electrical contacts may develop “HairLine Fractures or cracks” that are not visible to the naked eye. If any such crack disconnects a electrical line or a chip’s pin, then errors occur, depending on the place/chip on the board.

Graphic cards, and Laptop Motherboards are very prone to this, because of the stresses they take, but this can happen to any electrical item.

By “Baking” the card in the oven, all u do is to remelt the non-visible solder, in the hope that it would automatically reflow and repair the connection. (its still pure dumb luck, but with an educated style

Just brought back to life a dead GT8500 Inno3D video card, using an old oven toaster.

gusto nko na itry ang oven pero wala koy karaan nga oven... di man pud cguro ni pwede sa microwave oven...

mao sad na akong first gi huna2x.. murag ma tiwas sa microwave.. mao nga gipangita nako ang karaang oven toaster namo.. na gamitan pa gyud.. naa lay problema gamay kung ma subra-an ka dugay kay ma tunaw ang capacitor, karaan paman sad ang capacitor sa 8500 (dili pa solid caps) may nalang na bantayan nako, ako dayon na pull out. Ni action ra ug lanay gamay... Pero pag gamit nako, ok ra gyud buyag, from artifact to dead (na tiwas pa gyud kay na ihi-an sa ilaga) na buhi pa balik.

maayo kay nabanhaw imohang vcard, ako palit na lang tag new ani para less hassle.. ang pag oven kay 50/50 ra pud basin masobrahan or mahilaw.. maayo or dili...
