@unboundnrg sometimes this doesnt fix cards, ive fixed many but also completely ruined a few. also keep the card facing down not right side up its really bad for the capacitors to have the direct coil heat on them, they will pop up and kill the capacitors. Ive done this to so many cards and I have about a 90% success rate instead of a 50% chance now
@LethalBB Exactly. Why the hell would you buy a new card before trying to fix it! That is the type of attitude that will make you homeless. Like, if the cards broken, might as well try anything, its not like it could get any worse.
@YonOtto You idiot, I spent $600 on a new BFG 9800 GX2 a few years ago and it died less than a year after... So I baked it too since BFG went under. How does that make me a broke person? Now I'm on a pair of EVGA GTX 560 Ti SC in sli, broke no, just don't like being ripped off.
best thing to do is do the over trick then it might be alive for my guessing is 5-6 weeks and then sell it as fast as possible the person that buys the gfx will be fucked up and the seller will refuse to refund hehehe
@berezker People like this “ass” is what is wrong with this world and all the problems we face today they have a mind set of (fuck everyone you can to get ahead and never give a shit about anyone but themselves) then they wonder why they have no friends and never get anywhere in life. It is called “karma” for everyone person you fuck I pray you get fucked 10 fold. PS I would not recommend this method of reflow ever.
it really worked for me also .....i didn't believed it when i saw my card working again ...and actually what the oven trick does is the temperature of the oven remelt the soldering and removes any cold welding
You can barbeque it too, or put it on a steel rack over the fire, you can take a parabolic dish and reflect the sun on it, i've heard that you can boil it, if you let it dry a long time, and i'm told leaving it on a heat register all day does the trick. Do whatever you want but don't put in the microwave :)
It worked for me perfectly. I repaired my completely dead laptop VGA (ghosted image on internal monitor and dead the external monitor) on a Clevo M570U with the GeForce Go 7950 GTX on a Clevo's proprietary module!!!
I feel like this needs to be explained because its a very simple reason why it works, over time the solder expands and contracts with heat and can loose proper contact, so heating it partially melts it and it goes back into place.
OK I NEED HELP!!! I PUT VIDEO CARD IN MICROWAVE BCZ I DONT HAVE OVEN... AND IT WAS MY ONLY CHANCE.. SO IT WAS GOING GOOD FOR THE FIRST 5 SECONDS AND THEN I START SEEING BLUE LIGHT EVERYWHERE... ITS STILL IN THE MICROWAVE RIGHT NOW BUT I COVER IT WITH BATHROOM TOWEL SO I THINK IT WOULD HELP?? .. WHAT DO I DO NOW? PLSS HELP I DONT KNOW IF I SHOULD OPEN MICROWAVE OR TRY TO TURN OFF???? MY DAD AND MOM GOING TO KILL ME IF THEY COME HOME!!! PLSS HELP THANKU
I had a gateway fx serious laptop with this card in it and graphics went bad and baked the motherboard in the oven for 10 mins on 400 degrees. i was shoked it worked also. so shocked that after i found out it worked i sold that thing as fast as humanly possible =]
@ Those it helped out - Glad to be of assistance. Never ever thought this would hit 20k views nevermind 85k. Have a few more nerdy videos to do, will get them up over the christmas break probably.
@RetardedAsianYellow i bought a 4870x2 of ebay for $35 that was artifacting threw it in the oven for 7 minutes let it cool and there was no more aritfacts, it works
@maryuk07 Why is this insane? If the board isn't working anyways, what's it going to hurt to try it? The PC might not work? OH T3H NO3Z!! Wait, it didn't work before you put it in the oven...
This worked on a 7600GT PCI-e. GPU was faced down, 4cm elevated, and i´ve let it in the oven for 8 minutes. People will probably call you crazy but at least you get your graphics card working.
This actually works on all electronics, assuming you've diagnosed the issue correctly and you know what you're doing.
I've brought a laptop back from the dead twice using this trick, and you can do it to an XBox by sticking pencils in the fans. It will occasionally fix the Red Ring of Death.

This worked on my 8800GTS 512 - or at least it has been working for the last few hours. We shall see how long it lasts ! BTW - when I first reinstalled my gfx card after baking, the BIOS artifacts were worse than ever - but after a reboot they were gone and the problems were apparently no more.
I have a dell xps m1710 that had the nvidia geforce go 7950gtx card die at 13 months (1 month out of warranty). Dell wanted $750 to repair it. So 3 years later I'm still looking for cheap replacement cards... then i found out about "reflowing" and "reballling".... basically the oven trick is reflowing the existing (shitty) solider on the cards. If it overheats again it'll be shit again. Just don't cook your card at too high a temp for too long.
This is real. I was getting artifacts on my screen even during boot-up (confirmed that it wasn't a driver issue). I searched around and this is a great last resort for a video card that is 'dying'. If it's outside warranty why not try it! You have to be careful and follow the directions others have given: Remove the heatsink and fan, remove thermal grease, pre-heat convection oven to 385F, put on foil balls, bake for only 8 minutes, and let cool for 30-1hr. Played MW2 2hrs straight last night!
none of these fucking vids say put it in the oven chip up!!!
do not put it in down... like my fucking dumbass did ... thinking the tinfoil would fuck up the solder on the back... thinking i was a smart guy resting the tinfoil on the capcitors
6 things fell off now i gotta figure out how to solder the shit back on correctly
fucking sucks being broke
8mins is to long too imo... 6 to 7 and get the fucker outta the oven!
I posted a video on my video card repair with details if you care to have a look! The oven bake simply simulates a GPU reflow process performed with more costly equipment. My card was dead, artifacts at boot up, etc. What did I have to lose to try this procedure?A typical GPU reflow will involve heating up the GPU to 100C for 3 minutes, and increase to 200C for 10 minutes.This is done with the GPU facing up. In fact, the heat is applied to the GPU itself, and does not harm the chip!
I was about to throw my dead video card away, and I tried this trick, thinking "what do I have to lose?" I can't believe it worked! My card now works again! Thank you so much!

I got last week problems same as you gets,this artifects etc. and see this solution and read more about this on wiki google more about this. And yesterday i did bake the card previusly offcourse remowed the cooler etc, what u can remove from card. And bake on 200*Celsius 8minutes, and at night i assembled the video card and in morning if we can call morning 11 o'clock put video card in,And i totaly forget about and go to get coffea after i just start the pc, and relase the card is working:)
@LethalBB i like it i have a alienwar area 51 laptop with a 6800go that shows up some weird symbols on screen but not at the logo bios boot can i do the same with it
@keverinkarama sorry, i misspelled, i was talking about RMA "return merchandise authorisation" (not rtm). And if your graphic card doesn't have the warrenty anymore, and if it's driving you crazy you should try it. Just follow very in detail any gudie about it that you find on the net. If I'm not wrong it's something like 8min at 200°C (remove the heatsinks and the paste). After all that's how they do the process when the make the cards.. they don't solder every circuite 1 by 1. Good luck.
Don't ask me how and why, but I did it exactly as described here and it worked. I friend of mine brought a HP Laser-jet P2015 from his job and he gave it to me to see if I could fix it. I hooked it up and the paper jam and toner signals were going haywire. Then the toner indicator shut off but the jam indicator stayed on, but no jam was to be found. So out of curiosity I checked here in Youtube and saw the bake procedure. So I did it... what the heck. Astounding! It just works.
It became obvious when I disassembled my 8800GT video card that I would need to replace the thermal pads as well. If you replaced the ones in your card, what thickness pad did you use and where did you purchase them?
I had the same problem(code 43). But i fixed it in other way. I run my Nvidia 8800gt without heat sink. It run for 5-6 sec then the monitor stopped, but the pc was running. Next time I run it with heat sink and it is running well.
@amatureeng I have a 8800 gt too, and this worked for me.. for 2 minutes. My card's vent went at max speed and then my screen went black. Is your card still working ? D'you know what I can do ? Change my thermal grease maybe ?
It worked for me- pre heated small oven at 200 deg. Then 8 minuts video card coverd with alu foil. got Nvidia GT8500. The reason the card was broken was it was full of dust -got hot and the soldering went loos (very tiny soldering get easyly loos when get hot. CLEAN YOUR COMPUTER REGULARLY ESP IF IN DUSTY AREA WITH WOLL CARPETS.
i tryd it aswell with an old ati 9700 card and it worked! tho im not sure for how long but for now its been runing for 30min without artifacts so far. last resort Yes but if you have nothing to lose why not, just be careful
It's still going strong for a week now. Yes the chip needs to be upward, and you need to check if it's not overcooking. The smell and a tiny bit of misty smoke is normal i.m.o.
don't use grill or microwave combi or you'll screw it up!
The oven i use is an electric oven.
After cooling down, I put some arctic silver ceramique on the chip and the surrounding square and then reassembled it.
Next, I checked with furmark extreme burning mode for temps, and got it down using afterburner fan control
is your card still working today?? I just tried this on my dead 8800gt which was giving artifacts on the boot screen. now all is working well! but i'm afraid it won't last for long...
so you baked it...i'm doing it now but i dont know how i have to turn it. Is it important i think. Does the chip have to be on the upper side? help please :)
heating your video card really works!! i have tried it not in oven but a heat gun and does really work, if you have the guts just try it........ believe me it works , to does who laugh it's not our lost it's gain in us.
@iso2009xxx i got scammed by that a couple times by ebay sellers.
they said the usual crap like "card works fine and has never been overclocked" (which always means they did.. sort of like the claim "untested.. don't know if it works" always means it's definitely defective).
received the cards, noticed the darker fan header (compared to the plug). card worked and died after a week or two.
those assholes buy defective cards cheap, bake them and resell them with a diff. ebay acc.! BE CAREFUL!
@Knaeckebrotsaege ..and of course, when the card dies after a couple days or weeks (which is likely), the seller doesn't give a fuck.. he's got your money and you (in the worst case) already left positive feedback..
Jeez ppl still think this is fake...This is/was a well know nvidia problem.
Believe me its not fake, i did this shiit way back to repair the GTX7900 of my Dell XPS laptop. just be carefull not to put it too long in the oven!! you just need enough heat to re-melt the soldering points. not all ovens are the same, with turbo ovens do not go above 180C an no longer than 10 min, You can google for "nvidia oven trick" for more details. Use it as a last resort if your out of warranty!
Lol.. i have heard of this trick many times, and i had always been skeptical towards it.
Yesterday my friend said he was having trouble with vertical lines and video corruption and such. It was of course his graphic card (Inno 3d 8800GT) that was failing.
Then i thought of this.. dissasembled the cooling fan, put the graphic card in the oven for 8 minutes on 200 degrees, and reapplied new cooling paste (yeah, after 1½ year, the cooling paste is gone or ineffective), and voila! as good as new!
This works awesome, almost threw away a Macbook Pro do to flickering, freezing, & stupid weird lines on the screen. It was also over heating badly. So I took the whole shit off & left just the mobo. Put some motherboard chassis screws under each screw hole of the mobo to give it a lift. put it on top of some aluminum foil & into the oven. At 250 degrees 'F for about 10 minutes. when done took it off and let it cool. assemble it back, fired it up, & it freakin' WORKED! Mac is running like new!
@psyphormer fake or not I tried on my non working HD 3870 and it worked :) I have nothing to lose . I didn't believe it either but I tried it and it worked !
Nice vid man!! My logic board from my Macbook Pro is faulty, because I used the laptop ALOT!! several hours every day now, so I'm guessing the oven will work for it!! I have a fan oven will that do??
Dont do this in your home oven, when these cards get up to 392 degrees in your oven they put off lead oxides, you know, the ones that cause cancer, birth defects, etc. Use a cheapo little convection oven that will only ever be used for the purpose of baking cards. The cancer rate for people who are exposed to this stuff on the job is ridiculous and its certainly not worth it for a video card that may or may not even work after.
@greyfoxzero 392 degrees fahrenheit is 200 degrees celsius, its starts putting off lead oxides before that temperature anyway. Google the hazards of solder fumes. My point is if your gonna do this don't do it in your home oven.
@greyfoxzero in most videos this kind they say 350°F that is 177°C which is used to bake cakes and he used 200°C which is the same as 392°F and usualy oven isn't that hot because all of those thermometers inside show a bit more than the oven is really heated( i know this because my uncle works at oven factory)
@greyfoxzero -All electronics in computers are ROHS compliant meaning they can't contain hazardous materials. Just make sure you run your fan in the kitchen and you'll be fine. The smell will only be temporary and removed by the fan.
I was hesitating while watching all these tutorials but i finally did it.
I have a Hd4870 that suddenly started binking a grey screen in games, and then had purple boxes and lines all over the screen when watching videos and on desktop, then black lines and on bootscreen and died didnt work anymore.
I took off everything, fans, heatsinks and cleaned the thermal paste off, put it in the oven under CLOSE monitoring for about 10mins. took it out let it cool, works PERFECT AGAIN! :)

@alesslak what's rtm? can it work for my 8500gt?
keverinkarama 8 months ago
@keverinkarama sorry, i misspelled, i was talking about RMA "return merchandise authorisation" (not rtm). And if your graphic card doesn't have the warrenty anymore, and if it's driving you crazy you should try it. Just follow very in detail any gudie about it that you find on the net. If I'm not wrong it's something like 8min at 200°C (remove the heatsinks and the paste). After all that's how they do the process when the make the cards.. they don't solder every circuite 1 by 1. Good luck.

Don't ask me how and why, but I did it exactly as described here and it worked. I friend of mine brought a HP Laser-jet P2015 from his job and he gave it to me to see if I could fix it. I hooked it up and the paper jam and toner signals were going haywire. Then the toner indicator shut off but the jam indicator stayed on, but no jam was to be found. So out of curiosity I checked here in Youtube and saw the bake procedure. So I did it... what the heck. Astounding! It just works.

It became obvious when I disassembled my 8800GT video card that I would need to replace the thermal pads as well. If you replaced the ones in your card, what thickness pad did you use and where did you purchase them?

I had the same problem(code 43). But i fixed it in other way. I run my Nvidia 8800gt without heat sink. It run for 5-6 sec then the monitor stopped, but the pc was running. Next time I run it with heat sink and it is running well.

@amatureeng I have a 8800 gt too, and this worked for me.. for 2 minutes. My card's vent went at max speed and then my screen went black. Is your card still working ? D'you know what I can do ? Change my thermal grease maybe ?
synysponge 11 months ago
It worked for me- pre heated small oven at 200 deg. Then 8 minuts video card coverd with alu foil. got Nvidia GT8500. The reason the card was broken was it was full of dust -got hot and the soldering went loos (very tiny soldering get easyly loos when get hot. CLEAN YOUR COMPUTER REGULARLY ESP IF IN DUSTY AREA WITH WOLL CARPETS.

It's still going strong for a week now. Yes the chip needs to be upward, and you need to check if it's not overcooking. The smell and a tiny bit of misty smoke is normal i.m.o.
don't use grill or microwave combi or you'll screw it up!
The oven i use is an electric oven.
After cooling down, I put some arctic silver ceramique on the chip and the surrounding square and then reassembled it.
Next, I checked with furmark extreme burning mode for temps, and got it down using afterburner fan control

Just baked a dead 8800gt @ 200© for 15 min, and all worked well. The smell was terrible, as residu cleaning agent and residu cooling pad got baked as well, but the gpu which gave bsod's on load and vertical lines and numbers on boot, now works like a charm.

iso2009xxx 1 year ago 25
@iso2009xxx i got scammed by that a couple times by ebay sellers.
they said the usual crap like "card works fine and has never been overclocked" (which always means they did.. sort of like the claim "untested.. don't know if it works" always means it's definitely defective).
received the cards, noticed the darker fan header (compared to the plug). card worked and died after a week or two.
those assholes buy defective cards cheap, bake them and resell them with a diff. ebay acc.! BE CAREFUL!
Knaeckebrotsaege 1 year ago
@Knaeckebrotsaege ..and of course, when the card dies after a couple days or weeks (which is likely), the seller doesn't give a fuck.. he's got your money and you (in the worst case) already left positive feedback..

Jeez ppl still think this is fake...This is/was a well know nvidia problem.
Believe me its not fake, i did this shiit way back to repair the GTX7900 of my Dell XPS laptop. just be carefull not to put it too long in the oven!! you just need enough heat to re-melt the soldering points. not all ovens are the same, with turbo ovens do not go above 180C an no longer than 10 min, You can google for "nvidia oven trick" for more details. Use it as a last resort if your out of warranty!
iso2009xxx 1 year ago
Lol.. i have heard of this trick many times, and i had always been skeptical towards it.
Yesterday my friend said he was having trouble with vertical lines and video corruption and such. It was of course his graphic card (Inno 3d 8800GT) that was failing.
Then i thought of this.. dissasembled the cooling fan, put the graphic card in the oven for 8 minutes on 200 degrees, and reapplied new cooling paste (yeah, after 1½ year, the cooling paste is gone or ineffective), and voila! as good as new!

This works awesome, almost threw away a Macbook Pro do to flickering, freezing, & stupid weird lines on the screen. It was also over heating badly. So I took the whole shit off & left just the mobo. Put some motherboard chassis screws under each screw hole of the mobo to give it a lift. put it on top of some aluminum foil & into the oven. At 250 degrees 'F for about 10 minutes. when done took it off and let it cool. assemble it back, fired it up, & it freakin' WORKED! Mac is running like new!

And what you're interpreting as a photoshop job is purely the result of taking photos of a projection on a white wall with shitty cameraphone.
Why would I fake it? Its not like its not something that can be done, reflowing is a documented technique.

Nice vid man!! My logic board from my Macbook Pro is faulty, because I used the laptop ALOT!! several hours every day now, so I'm guessing the oven will work for it!! I have a fan oven will that do??
WarrenDrumsalot 1 year ago
Dont do this in your home oven, when these cards get up to 392 degrees in your oven they put off lead oxides, you know, the ones that cause cancer, birth defects, etc. Use a cheapo little convection oven that will only ever be used for the purpose of baking cards. The cancer rate for people who are exposed to this stuff on the job is ridiculous and its certainly not worth it for a video card that may or may not even work after.

@greyfoxzero 392 degrees fahrenheit is 200 degrees celsius, its starts putting off lead oxides before that temperature anyway. Google the hazards of solder fumes. My point is if your gonna do this don't do it in your home oven.

@Dreamlgider Common solder alloys are mixtures of tin and lead, respectively:
* 63/37: melts at 183 °C (361 °F) (eutectic: the only mixture that melts at a point, instead of over a range)
* 60/40: melts between 183–190 °C (361–374 °F)
* 50/50: melts between 185–215 °C (365–419 °F)

@greyfoxzero in most videos this kind they say 350°F that is 177°C which is used to bake cakes and he used 200°C which is the same as 392°F and usualy oven isn't that hot because all of those thermometers inside show a bit more than the oven is really heated( i know this because my uncle works at oven factory)

Worked perfect!
I was hesitating while watching all these tutorials but i finally did it.
I have a Hd4870 that suddenly started binking a grey screen in games, and then had purple boxes and lines all over the screen when watching videos and on desktop, then black lines and on bootscreen and died didnt work anymore.
I took off everything, fans, heatsinks and cleaned the thermal paste off, put it in the oven under CLOSE monitoring for about 10mins. took it out let it cool, works PERFECT AGAIN! :)
