1. Cover all fan ports & run the PC hot for 20 minutes.

The theory is that since the BGA chips use low temperature (bismuth)
solder balls, it doesn't take much heat to reflow the solder. The
reality is that without flux, the broken solder connections are
unlikely to fuse together.

2. Disassemble & reheat specific chips (e.g., cpu).

The CPU is in a socket. Buy a cheap replacement on eBay and try it.

3. Disassemble & bake motherboard in the kitchen oven.

That will melt all the plastic parts (i.e. connectors). Bad idea.

There's a 4th option. Send it to someone with the expertise and
equipment.

Just watch your costs very carefully.

None seem particularly safe.

Well, they're a step above the Xbox repairs that use a sterno can
under the PCB to reflow the solder.
