Ghetto electronics repair   After hearing that his video card
might be repairable by heating it up to reflow it, this user did
just that. He stripped it down and tossed it in his oven. It’s
amazing how often this type of hackish repair works. We’ve heard
of people using candles on ibooks, tossing video cards in oven,s
and wrapping an xbox 360 in a towel and running it for 30
minutes to get it hot enough to reflow itself. Why even bother
with controlled temperatures and exact measurements? What other
crazy fixes have you had to employ? We had a Playstation that
only worked upside down.  [via engadget]     1. F7 says:
lol xbox towel reflow    2. Shane says:      I’ve heard of
taking keyboards with coke (“soda pop”) spilled on them and
running them through washing machines, I’ve also heard of doing
it with motherboards and some other stuff. Somebody said they
used to take a bunch of motherboards and run them through the
dishwasher at the same time and half of them would make it, half
of them wouldn’t.    3.
