Xtreme way of fixing laptop graphics card!

[rintamarotta]

Well i think many of you people have heard of how cold can sometimes fix memory sticks and how extreme heat (200 degrees) can fix motherboards and some other components.

I tought of trying the heat to fix my laptops GeForce 8600M GS graphics card.

It did give alot of graphics errors at even underclocked to 200mhz core.

I heated up my oven to approx 200 degrees of celcius and did put my graphics card in there with some screws holding it so components dont touch metal inside oven.

After i took graphics card out of oven, i did let it to cool down for 30mins and later put graphics card back to my laptop.

So far it have worked at slight overclock without problems and 0 graphics errors.

This must be something to do with re-melting the cracked joints in BGA balls or something like that but for me it fixed a graphics card and i dont need to buy 320euro replacement from my laptop manufactuer.

Anyone else have tryed this method? and if you have please give your results.

Sorry my crappy english.

I have 2 of these laptops, luckily other one have never needed any kind of fixing, temps seem be quite low on that one.
