So my previous thread was that I couldn't get my AM2 board to post, I'm pretty sure it's dead. Can I give the motherboard a bake or does this not work with motherboards? If I can how do I go about doing it?

You can certainly bake it. I'm not sure if it will work or not .
Why is everyone so enthralled with baking and/or freezing their hardware!?
That was funny Aldakoopa, anyhow it's dead already so no harm in giving it a try. Seriously though what do I need to prepare it for a bake?Baking because it's healthier than frying and freezing keeps them fresh longer?

Ya, battery should be pulled, as well as any sensitive plasticy parts if there are buttons. Anything that is more of a decorative plastic needs to go - ram slots and expansion slots are fine. Plastic buttons can be risky, depending on what sort of plastic they are and how thick.
I melted the crap out of some buttons an a DFI M2RSH.
Bake 10 minutes at 400 and she's dead! No post no beeps, cpu fan and gpu fan spinning but thats it. I think it's time for the scrap pile, I just wish I could have sent it off in a more glorious fashion.
