1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:09,320
so while the oven preheats you can see the temperatures going up pretty quickly

2
00:00:05,319 --> 00:00:11,000
here well it was until I looked at it

3
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:15,759
and tried to point out to somebody there it goes finally um so I want to show you

4
00:00:13,799 --> 00:00:19,800
the preparation process that goes on here first of all you put some aluminum

5
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:23,720
foil I should mention I'm certainly not the one who discovered this um and there

6
00:00:22,119 --> 00:00:28,760
seems to be a lot of debate about how long to bake it for I'm going to try

7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:32,520
this guy for 7 minutes uh the general rule is that anything over 10 to 12

8
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:37,040
minutes is probably too much and anything under 5 minutes is probably not

9
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:40,600
enough I have some aluminum foil balls on all four corners of the video card

10
00:00:39,079 --> 00:00:45,160
holding it up you don't want it to make direct contact with your baking sheet or

11
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:49,920
any other surface inside the oven and so as soon as that gets up to 385 we're

12
00:00:47,559 --> 00:00:55,000
going to go ahead and try this out so there's the card inside the oven it's

13
00:00:52,280 --> 00:01:00,239
kind of hard to see but uh I think you get the point it's in there oops excuse

14
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:03,879
me my timer's going so uh once that runs down I'm going to go ahead and remove it

15
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:09,000
and find out if the card works when you're removing it from the oven you want to be really careful bearing in

16
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:13,439
mind the whole point of this process was to turn all of the solder points on the

17
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:18,479
card to liquid so if you go and move it too fast or Flex the card then you're

18
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:23,439
probably just asking for it to be even more dead than it was

19
00:01:20,439 --> 00:01:26,880
before okay I just took it out and it's

20
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:28,759
actually fairly evident by the shininess

21
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:33,280
of the solder points that are visible that the solder didn't indeed melt I

22
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:39,640
can't really get it to focus right now but uh so my hope is that whatever was

23
00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:45,759
ailing it will be fixed and everything will be well reconnected and oh yeah sh

24
00:01:43,079 --> 00:01:49,680
up but I guess we'll test it let's find out what happens I'll let it cool for a

25
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:55,799
while and then uh off we go okay this is the Moment of Truth a card is in the

26
00:01:53,079 --> 00:02:00,280
system so let's find out if we get a display on the monitor or not

27
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,439
so far it is looking like or

28
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,560
not

29
00:02:09,640 --> 00:02:17,080
well there you have it so I was not able

30
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:20,920
to fix my 8800

31
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:23,319
GTS with this method but that doesn't

32
00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:26,720
mean that it won't work if uh the problem actually is something becoming

33
00:02:25,319 --> 00:02:30,879
desoldered so there must be something else wrong with this card that is not

34
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:36,400
related to that and it's time to throw it away thank you
