my graphics card died suddenly and so i thought that this would be a perfect opportunity to try the baking in oven trick because i have nothing to lose. two questions though:
1. i can't remove some plastic parts like output ports because the soldering work is beyond my capabilities to resolder. is it okay to just leave them?
2. i heard about soldering fumes but realistically how bad is it for the oven? getting a separate oven just for this is pointless
3. what the fuck actually happens to the card during baking? i'm not convinced that it's just the reflow of the solder that does the trick
pic unrelated
