Another oops to amuse you.....
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. -- http://petersparrots.com http://petersphotos.com A man goes into a library and asks for a book on suicide. The librarian says, "**** off, you won't bring it back!" |
