Fix your 8800gtx Graphics Card (STEP by STEP) by Baking it in the OVEN.

You know the the show, the F word? He said once, If its brown its cooked if its black its f@cked

I assumed you meant 380 degrees Fahrenheit but did I bother to check? Of course not...

I put my experimental broken gpu in the oven for 10min at 482 Fahrenheit... And of course 5 capacitors popped the pcb has bulged in places and the bit where the fan plugged in competely melted. But I must say, I shall be atempting this a few more times with a little pile of dead cards I have, will post the results

OK well.. i just fixed mine with this method..

The card was 2 YEARS DEAD ... too apart checked crap for years.. poked and proded it...

oh and spilt MILK ALL OVER IT.. about a two years after it died.. and its well out of warranty...

hell the cards FIVE YEARS OLD. But anyway.. i did what this dude did and it did boot up .. (and fail)

First boot it had these 6 smiling dancing faces.. no im not kidding.. and half of them were blinking.. restarted.. and viola .. it fucking works..

KICK ASS

You really can be happy that this Card works, cause the Card was FACE DOWN in the oven... Normaly the Chips would fall down :P
