I agree, alot of people dump their boards. This tool is great news, who knew their was so many fixes out there.

I'll make sure to start a thread, when I get this tool. As long as it works out though.

I've got to testify.... I just got a 6800GT from craigslist off some asshole that must have known the card was dead before he shipped it. It had some thick black residue that looked like the guy had a house fire at some point and most of the outcome ended up on the card under the heatsink and on the pcb. Well long story short, I completely cleaned off the card and still nothing so I figured what the hell and tried the oven. ~ 385 F for 12 minutes and the card is brought back to life!! I was very skeptical but had nothing to loose.

I pre heated 475 for 10 mins, I pulled my gpu out and 2 caps and a resistor had fallen off!!! OH NOES!!!! so I let it cool, soldered the caps and resistor back on, fired that baby up, WHAMOOO!!! it works like a charm hell better than before!!!! oc's about 60mhz core more and 100mhz shader more!! same on memory though!! soo thinking bout it I tried my 4850, nothing still dead but hell!! it does actually work!!!!

This is also a viable solution for a PS3 YLOD :) My launch model died last week so I did everything in my power to revive it so I could fetch the data off the HDD (losing 1000's of hours of stuff is not my idea of fun) and it worked out quite well. 350 degrees for about 12 minutes and give it a half hour to cool then rotate it after cooling and hope all goes well! :)

I can foresee that this baking technique will be used on broken lightsaber in far far future ...

I've got a 8800 GT that shorts out the whole system when you try to boot with it. Should I try baking it or just try rinsing it with rubbing alcohol in case something is physically on it causing the shorts?

ATHENS GREECE
Patient:

Asus 8600GTS/256mb/ddr3 (S.T.A.L.K.E.R. edition)

Symptoms:
Black screen with dvi cable. only boots up with dvi to d-sub converter.
Blue vertical lines in windows 7 x64 under safe mode (with normal boot the system crashed).
White random characters all over the screen under Dos and bios menu.

Cure:

I removed the heatsink and the fan and whatever i can un-skrew and cleand the Gpu and ram from thermal paste.
I applied an aluminium foil on a baking disk.
I made 3 balls of aluminium foil.
I put the Gfx card on the aluminium foil balls on the baking disk.
I preheat the oven at 190 oC or 375F for 5min.
I put the gfx card in the oven for 8 min at 190 oC or 375F.
I put out of the oven the cooked Gfx card.
I let it cool down for 15min.
I reassembled the heatsink, fan and whatever i un-skrew and applied new thermal paste.

I told my self the phrase "here goes nothing..." and put the gfx in my pc.
It's alive!!!
I run 3DMark Vantage and stressed the gfx card , it runs flawlessly!!!

Thanks for letting me share my experience.
