Btw: contrary to you, I actually know what I'm talking about. Some years ago when DRAM was incredibly expensive I've tried to build RAM modules out of single RAM IC's and empty RAM PCB's, using a hot air gun for soldering all the tiny contacts at once. The success rate was _very_ low, even though the PCB's were single-layer. My learning was that this form of soldering just doesn't work.
(underlined is some more of your flame bait ADDICT, just so you have no reason to 'accidentally not read it ...again.
Or maybe you're not as good as soldering as you try to make out you are?
And you're misinformed, I never tried to tell anyone I am somekind of 1337 soldering guru...another example of you trying to flamebait?
What I did (which you would've known, had you read the topic for what it is, not just to try and find reasons so you could flame someone again) was give ratfink some information of what was possible and it appeared I was right in posting this information as he replied that he didn't know about it.
Another thing ratfink posted (which you, ofcourse, don't even consider as you're only looking for flamebait, as usual) was that he was sick of trying to get his card to work and he had no reason to try any difficult stuff with it, it wasn't worth his time.
THATS why I hinted him at baking graphics cards. He has nothing to lose from it and there is actually LOTS of information available on the net.
Maybe all that information is questionable to you but this thread is not about your 1337 soldering skills, it's about helping this guy out and the discussion that may be created around it.
Now lets look a lil further into this, shall we? Since that's exactly what it is you're here for, ADDICT.
People also are jumping from high buildings and consequently smash into the concrete, or driving cars at night with the headlights off while being drunk. These things are done, though it's questionable whether they are sensible.
Well now, this piece you wrote would set some examples of things that happen but are not sensible
"Baking" a piece of electronic is bound to destroy more than it "repairs".
This is you telling me the idea I posted is a bad one (me, because I am the one who suggested it)
Solder only becomes fluid after a certain temperature point, yet the same temp is deadly to other, more sensitive electronic components. If there is any effect at all after "baking" I think it'll be from the materials expanding due to the high temp, allowing for contacts to work again. That'll work only a couple of minutes though, until the materials start to contract again. I honestly wonder how anyone can seriously consider doing stuff like that.
And this is you, ADDICT, trying to lecture me because, in your opinion, the idea I suggested is as dumb as the ideas of jumping into concrete and such things.
Now lets look at this part you wrote, ADDICT
I honestly wonder how anyone can seriously consider doing stuff like that
Now, here we are. YOU are wondering why anyone would seriously consider doing such a questionable (your words) thing.
It is questionable to you because in YOUR 'expert' opinion it is a dumb thing to do.
What you don't consider is THINKING why I actually suggested that idea, ADDICT.
Your reasoning seems to be one of someone who thinks very highly of himself, so highly that if anyone would post anything that seems outrageous to YOU (and that's really easy to do, if nobody posts anything that falls into that category, you'll simply twist someones words around just so you can throw up over them), you won't even consider for a minisecond that this other person might actually be on to something!
Now the second explanation of your quote here
I honestly wonder how anyone can seriously consider doing stuff like that
is the second thing you overlooked because of your large ego.
Someone may consider doing such a thing if the person has much to gain, nothing to lose and it's easy to try.
This is something you could also have been aware of had you, even for just a moment, considered that people who post stuff that isn't 'in your little street' might actually be having a good idea!
But apparently whatever is not 'in your street' just cannot be a good idea and hence you start posting your flame crap again.
Heres another example of what is so manipulative about the way you post things:
You're the one posting crap. I was giving information, where all you are able to do is to throw around cusswords and paste links to content of questionable quality.
Now lets cut them up a bit:
You're the one posting crap
This is because in your 1337 opinion it is crap, see above for more detailed explanation
and part of your information is directly contradictive to the information I posted. You chose to ignore the part about reflowing solder for cracked solder joints simply because it wasn't your idea and you call it 'questionable' even though theres dousands of people who have tried it, and succeeded at it! According to you this isn't even possible, right? Can only reflow solder with a heatgun, right? Because that's what YOU think is the truth.
where all you are able to do is to throw around cusswords and paste links to content of questionable quality.
You know VERY well why I said to you what I said. You aren't exactly well liked here ADDICT and you seem to be completely ignorant about it.
Now notice the underlined word "all" and how it is combined with the other words? It tells people something about the writer, dude. You're so smart, I'll let you figure that out for yourself.
And btw, I didn't just throw in a link, I gave him the advice to do some google searches and posted the link merely as an example.
This is something you choose to ignore and you did that because it makes me sound more n00bish. This you do to increase the 1337ness distance between you and me even further (which is what you want). You do this by manipulating what other people write.
Btw, I thought you had had enough of this forum? Couldn't live without us then?
Edit:
Let me 'just throw in' a couple links about what happens if you start posting in a thread, ADDICT, maybe rereading them will make you see that when you start posting your crap in a topic that it's you who turns a fun and interesting thread into a flame war.

Example #2:
