I've tried removing all but the wifi, guess that's next. The unit is quite clean too, so dust isn't an issue. What do you mean exactly by 'baking'? If it's anything like baking a 360, I don't know if it'll generate enough heat...
I'm trying to fix my girlfriend's laptop, a Gateway M3707. It's been 'dead' for awhile, but with her now in school, it'd be a nice surprise for her to have a working laptop again. ^_^
Anyway, upon powering up, no fans turn...
