Motherboard baking

[BUCK]

I has my doubts about this but yesterday I pulled my HP DV6000 out of the closet and took the mobo out of it. Baked it in the oven at 385 degrees and let it set. Put it all back together and WOW it actually worked . Imagine that. This is where I found it. http://forum.notebookreview.com/hardwar ... rofit.html

I am guessing it worked. Like they stated it really had nothing to do with the heat on the components. It had to do with a bad connection somewhere on the board.

What Huntor said sounds right. I've asked a couple of people about it and they say the heat softens the solder to the point where any cracks in it are closed.

Tasted like a McMotherboard!

Adam,

Now I understand the hiccups. Thought it was the Cheetos!

Adam,

That was the WORST case of hiccups I've ever suffered through !!! I felt like Foster Brooks ! I think I bruised something during that spell....

Foster Brooks ... now there's a blast from the past. A time before cable when comedy was clean and, in his case, outrageously funny. Imagine, a time when comedy lines were well delivered without the help of the F-bomb! I remember his first appearance on Carson. Carson introduced him as the mayor of some CA town. Carson could be such a straight man, he had me going the whole time believing this guy was a mayor of some poor city! Had tears in my eyes laughing at this guy.

I may have to try this Buckster.

Last night while testing a map on my laptop, HP Pavillion dv9000, the screen locked up. I did a hard reboot and during the reboot I got a pop up that said I needed to run the system repair due to a hardware error.
After the repair program ran my display came back but with in a few minutes I got the blue screen of death and it began dumping my system.
Another reboot try and now all I have is a blank screen. I can't get windows to load nor does an external monitor help.

After reading through several forums it seems this is a common occurance, especially with my model, and excessive heat is the culprit. A few writers explain that the GPU or Processor pins can move slightly due to the excessive heat loosening the soldier and baking allows the pins to re-soldier themselves.

HP tech support was no help since I'm out of warranty. A few calls to my local computer techs wasn't any help either so I may just have to try this. Most of the replies I've been reading in forums relating to this problem say it works. Who'd a thunk?

I'll let you know.

LOL I have done it twice since I started this post. I bought a HP DV 6700 at a garage sale a week ago for 5 bucks and brought it home and baked the motherboard. Put it all back together , reinstalled windows vista and sold it 2 days later for 125.00 lol. The guy who bought it works with me and says it works like a new one.

I'm sold Buck but just don't have time right now. I'll be sure to post as soon as I perform this highly technical process as to my success.
Until then I've swapped to using my red neck laptop.
