lol, and the price for dead graphics cards skyrockets! 
So this is working on cards with no display and with bad (lined) displays? That's impressive.

Cue the long string of noob posts from people who spent $100 on a broken card and then burned it in the oven or knocked off some critical part while the solder was still molten. Mixed in with a few who bought ones with exploded power sections and such and can't understand why the oven trick won't fix it. Oh, and probably one or two who completely missed the point and ruined a previously working graphics card.

What temps are the caps on these cards rated for? I'd hate to think that the cooking was killing them.

I think stuff like this and other good tips should be privite sticky like the classifides so it dont spread like wildfire. Not everyone and there brother can c! it would help out on bringing in members! But others might not agree

hey guys
I have three dead 280gtx cards do you think this will help
None display anyout output to the screen
I did put a waterblock on them, that could have made them not work, or they were not working before (didnt test them before putting the waterblocks on them)
I did try to rma them to evga, but they turned up damaged, and the courior will not give be any money due to that I dont have any pictures on how they were packed and how they turned up in the box (god know who i was meant to to get a busy company like that to start taking picture on how they turned up in the box) god damn, evga is a rescepable company, why would they lie, i even gave them a screenshot of the email from them
The damage looks repairable but again
Will this oven trick help the card to actually work?
