Go ahead and put it in the oven. I'll laugh as hard as the guy who posted that on the internet and sat back.
Not its actually an old trick not a joke. But I dont recommend it unless you have nothing to loose. Often the 'fault' is cured simply by removing and re-assembling things and the oven thing had little to do with it.

Just so you know nearly all solder is lead free now commonly using copper and tin. Solder containing lead is extremly hard to find.
