To be honest it depends on what's wrong with the board. If you have a solder that has an air gap, then baking may melt and reset the solder. Other than that I can't see what it would do for you. I'd have thought that it might also cause problems with plastic fittings which are not high temp resistant.
If it was due to a liquid spill then I'd reccommend a low temp ~80-100degC baking would help dry it out. but again you need to be careful with plastics.
