What do you think?
I already knew this trick, but it works. :) But I wouldn't have started at 200°C. Better start with 120°C and go higher when it doesn't work.

agree in one case parts fell over due to exceeding board heat limits. bad reflow day i guess

Graphics cards should have cooking instructions on the back now.

that's how i fixed my old 560ti till it exploded last year.

it wasn't so dramatic, it just stopped working after the 4-5th cooking. xD
but that's how my heart felt when i couldn't play games for months. 💔

I bet the same principle that forbids freezing food more than once applies to cooking GPUs as well ;-;
Have you tried cooking it one last time with a little olive oil on top... and maybe rosemary?

AMD's cake! Explosive!
I baked my LG G3 circuit board like 20 times and now it's completely toasted. Sadly for me it worked only for a few days between the fries.

You just know there had to be at least one person who saw this trick and tried it in a microwave.

Same for not putting a remote control in, not even 5 seconds (don't ask)...

I don't you believe you came up with this yourself...

It was already fucked up with the "black screen" issue... so i have nothing to lose!(since doesnt have any more guarantee) i just stored it for a year in the box and now i finally found a solution how to fix it.... lol

It works, but mostly not for too long. I have tried it myself a few years ago with my old 9800 GT.

I think, it's also a question how much damage is taken to the soldering joints and which solder is used.
But, before buying a new card at once, it's better to try ist. If it doesn't work, the card is broken in any case.

I do that ,, trick,, with my very old GEFORCE 8800GTX 10+ year ago and it work even today. ;P (I gave it to my aunt's son)

Just because I'm curious, would someone enlighten me, what was wrong with the card in the first place? Did you get some liquid on the card, that baking does the trick? It's probably mentioned in the video, but I too lazy to turn on the sound and watch the whole thing. And it's mentioned nowhere in the description. That's why I hate youtube: you often have to watch several minutes of video for one piece of information that could've been written in one sentence. Makes me wonder why mankind invented writing at all.

The baking of the card softens the solder so that it can make new contact to the board.

Did it came broken out of the box or did your card die after using it for a while?

After 3 year... 3 days after the warranty ended...

I´d prolly be lazy enough to try it with the cooler and all plastics still attached :E

In my case reinstalling orginal drivers helped, I wasn't brave enough to bake it :P

I would never do that, think of all toxic fumes that will come out of the electronics and stick in your oven. I hope you don't use the oven to make food in?
Comment has been collapsed.
If you have a good oven cleaner it's no problem at all - you should only use it after baking. :)
Ans, while baking your windows should be open and best would be a draft.

Yeah, I fixed my old laptop graphics card 4-5 times, unfortunately now it doesn't work anymore even after baking.
I own the same gpu on my desktop! :D

most of the time reflow works for a few months only
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, I think you're right, I had to bake it again every 4-6 months or so, but I rarely used the laptop.
Still, you can go on for some time while you look around for a replacement. Better than nothing I guess.

My bro has a couple dead cards I should show him this trick, one of the cards is a 1080 too.
Comment has been collapsed.
may i ask how come you have a dead 1080? the guarantee should be active
Comment has been collapsed.
Water damage from rain (his PC was close to an open window during heavy rain/wind) the water damage is obvious to anyone interested enough to look close so he did not bother to RMA as he expects 90% chance they will not accept it.
Plus he is lazy.
His whole PC was affected and his Motherboard was ruined too (the rest was ok after a couple days) the motherboard was getting old though so the 1080 was much more upsetting.

Sure, why not. This was not that uncommon for mainboards with faulty connections.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah i know it works but its a temporary solution it will stop working again you can bake again and work again and stop again till either melt or explode :P
Comment has been collapsed.
this, plus fumes are bad, instead is a good thing hace a heat gun

I fixed my GeForce GTX 460 this way last year (or was it 2 years ago?) - with less aluminium foil though. I just had my first BlueScreen again last month. I guess I'll have to try & cook it again.
