I watched a video on Youtube where a dead Nvidia 8800gtx was baked in the oven and the person who posted the video claims this fixed his card. I was wondering if anyone has every tried this with any success??
It's just a temporary fix. The solder on the chip will go bad again and baking the card won't help the life span of all the other components on there.
Some time ago my fiance spilt the water on half of my ABIT BX-133 motherboard while watering the flowers... She did not inform me of that fact of course becouse she was afriad of my reaction 😉
The mobo refused to boot after that "showering" and I realized that something was wrong... When I finally expressed my frustration I simply put the MOBO to the oven for more or less 15 minutes thinking that it would not revive it but to my surprise it helped 😁 It works till this day.
I do not know what's the matter with your card but if it suffered a similar fate then In this case the baking method works perfectly 😀
It works. I've revived some cards, although they will AFAIK go bad eventually. I have baked a 8800GTS 512 twice because of this. My 4850 is working fine though and it's been far longer since I baked that.
Give it a try but each card and bake job is going to have different results in the long term.

I baked a laptop motherboard last month... the fix only lasted 10 days.
