00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:09.320
so while the oven preheats you can see the temperatures going up pretty quickly

00:00:05.319 --> 00:00:11.000
here well it was until I looked at it

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

00:00:13.799 --> 00:00:19.800
the preparation process that goes on here first of all you put some aluminum

00:00:17.720 --> 00:00:23.720
foil I should mention I'm certainly not the one who discovered this um and there

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

00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:32.520
this guy for 7 minutes uh the general rule is that anything over 10 to 12

00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:37.040
minutes is probably too much and anything under 5 minutes is probably not

00:00:34.440 --> 00:00:40.600
enough I have some aluminum foil balls on all four corners of the video card

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:23.439
probably just asking for it to be even more dead than it was

00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:26.880
before okay I just took it out and it's

00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:28.759
actually fairly evident by the shininess

00:01:26.880 --> 00:01:33.280
of the solder points that are visible that the solder didn't indeed melt I

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

00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:45.759
ailing it will be fixed and everything will be well reconnected and oh yeah sh

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

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

00:01:53.079 --> 00:02:00.280
system so let's find out if we get a display on the monitor or not

00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:05.439
so far it is looking like or

00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:08.560
not

00:02:09.640 --> 00:02:17.080
well there you have it so I was not able

00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:20.920
to fix my 8800

00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:23.319
GTS with this method but that doesn't

00:02:20.920 --> 00:02:26.720
mean that it won't work if uh the problem actually is something becoming

00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:30.879
desoldered so there must be something else wrong with this card that is not

00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:36.400
related to that and it's time to throw it away thank you
