mmmmmm, acetone, snif snif....

crazy s*** baking a motherboard, but it makes sense with the solder.
Now I know how my grandmother keeps fixing that damn annoying radio I always sabotage, she puts it in the oven. Also explains the foul taste of potatoes

There was a feature on BBC's Watchdog program about Xbox 360 faults being cured by baking the boards, but it had to be done right.

Anyway, that's the last advice I take from this forum...

They obviously set it to the wrong temperature...376 degrees f

And there was me thinking USB drives were 'hot-swappable'!

now a keyboard (working) looking like this would be an instant hit

I wonder if putting it in the toaster would have the same effect...

Or there's this:

The most likely possibility of recovering a circuit by 'baking' is the changing of the values of components espically electrolytic capacitors.

You probably get the same results by letting them sit out in the sun for a while.

Trust me you arent melting any solder

I have restored old radios by removing certain components, removing the faceplates and knobs and running them in a dishwasher

A thorough drying in the sun for a day or two is in order.

Oberon, there's an idea

Solder doesn't even get soft until 400F. Lead free solder in Europe even hotter.

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.
