I don't know if I told you but I have a graphics card that's out of warranty and stopped working.
Well I checked for swollen or burst capacitors, there weren't any.
So as a last resort I tried the bake in the oven method to reflow the solder.
9 minutes at 196C as advised.
The solder didn't appear to have melted, and the card remained inoperative.
Perhaps my oven thermostat is inaccurate? Try hotter!
Max - 240C.
BANG! Now I've got burst capacitors. All over the oven.
I shall refrain from reinserting it into the computer.
