sorry that I didn't post pictures of that liquid but it looked really like a regular liquid without any colour and without any special bottle

it is used by electricians and as far as I know it cleans bga's so that they hold on to the card better

by the way I baked another card and it is completely dead now, just black screen, something on the chipsed might have been burnt

Bummer. It could also be that the card was dead from the start.

I will ask a couple of friends who are electricians and see if we can dig up the real name for it. Thanks for the feedback.

cheers ...

Its just flux. Its used to pretreat surfaces when you are soldering.

So it works the same way when you use this liquid before baking? This is not pre-treating the surface though.

what is flux?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soldering#Flux
batter than a heat-gun is a bga solder station,the one with hot air is a old design,now is used infrared beam.

this is one way but without flux,but is just on the way,no disassembly or preparation,poor chance to be reliable in time.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJlgP...eature=related
this is a complete chip replacement.
what baking do is from 5:46 till the end.
as you can see at 6:10-6:11 solder balls is melting and soldering chip to board.

Hope not breaking any rules by putting this video here.
All video belong to uploaders,they are not mine,even if I can do the same and upload my video.
Maybe when I get one to replace my X1400 and if I'm unlucky an my card will have problems like others.

Baked my 7900GS

Just had success with my 7900GS. I got the NMI Parity error of death 2x, followed by green artifacts, followed by no video at all.

Baked at 400F for 9 minutes on a foil type stand as described earlier, let it cool about half an hour, and put it back together, she POSTs with no artifacts!

I have tried it with an 7900GS to no avail.
10 minutes in 240° and still same error.
Must be something else
post #34 of 45
240C? That's pretty high-

cheers ...
post #35 of 45
Yeah, I know.
Tried 200° = fail.
Tried 220° = fail.
Tried 240° = fail.

No luck for me.

For sale on ebay now as broken

You could pay a company on ebay to fix it, there's guy's who do that and it's usually a shat load cheaper than a new card plus they apparently warranty their shat.

Hello to all
I had same problem..
Inspiron 9400 (e1705) weird colors and after reboot black screen.
The heat pipe dissipator was full of dust.
So the video card went coocked in owen for 10 minutes at 180°C
Now, after the second reboot, is fully working!

Thanks for your hints!
