Need oven in PDX to bake a 780

[Gudawhan]

Anyone around PDX have a oven or kiln that they are NOT using for cooking food ever again? I want to try to fix a GC by baking it at 385F. I've seen 2 videos that this method work for. Thanks!

Heat gun and aluminum foil?

Yup, a heat gun is 20 bucks and foil is everywhere

I think I might have spent $40 on mine, but it has multiple airflow settings and temp settings on it.

 

Mostly just use it for heat-shrink tubing, but I've also fixed multiple PS3's with it.

@Valkyrie Lenneth I don't want to scare you, but they might taste the same while harming your body...

i dont want to scare u, but do u know that our food is already poisoned by many chemicals ect?

Not to mention the stuff in our CLEANING products used inside the oven.

The PCBs contain a few chemicals that will stick to the insides of your oven. Using the oven for food afterwards will lead to the chemicals going onto the food, and therefore, into your body.

ever heard of cleaning out a oven? :v with high heat they are extremely easy to clean, u can also use some strong cleaning chemicals again to remove the other chemicals, this world today is all about chemicals these days anyway ( including inside our food sadly :v )

Yeah you can clean out an over but there are certain places you might not clean where it'll stick. Such as with a fan oven. Also, chemicals used in food are non-toxic and rated as edible, whereas chemicals used in PCBs are the complete opposite.

Thank you for going off topic and avoiding my latter point. Just don't bake a graphics card, it's a bad idea.

am just saying those same type of toxic chemicals are everywhere already,  an simple reply to ur toxic chemical answer about the baking, it shouldnt matter much because its already in the food :c, my friend fixed many gpus including ps3,s and xbox360's in hes oven 

 

then again i wouldnt do it personally its my friend lol ^^ hes made alot of money baking stuff in oven

I wouldn't expect to find copper etching chemicals, such as ferric chloride, or ammonium persulfate in a foodstuff. Neither would I expect to find whatever solvent they use to electroplate copper to the PCBs.

the chemicals u mentioned ( ferric chloride,ammonium persulfate ) is actually found inside food products ( u can google if u dont believe it ) anyway lets keep it at this ^^

I still wouldn't expect to see that in common foods, like non-processed stuff. But still, baking a GPU is a bad idea. There's also another reason, which is that you need to properly reflow the GPU to get it to work properly again. Meaning, removing the GPU, reballing, and resoldering.

So I have this Gainward 780 that stopped working,  I won't be putting in a oven or blasting with a heat gun.   I'll put it up for auction on eBay as DOA & some true tech can buy & fix it.
