Motherboard baking fail

What caused it?,..and sorry to hear

What led you to do this in the first place?

You'd need to get the oven really hot (over 220 C) to have any theoretical effect. I hate to think what that does to any of the motherboard's components.

Also supposed to strip parts of their heatsinks to avoid thermal expansion issues. (And to avoid melting or burning thermal paste/thermal pads)

 

[McHenryB]

More than a couple of minutes in an oven at 220 C will kill any integrated circuit. And modern solders have a higher melting point than that.

I'd also be very wary about using that oven for cooking food after you have filled it with toxic materials.

baked is risk, like capasitor will be blown up, the pcb can handle up to 360c but the capasitors doesn't
why you baked your board?? just look for board schematic and repair it...

I have or should I say had a dell inspiron M5030 laptop. When i tried to power it on the screen would remain black and it would beep 7 times. After researching the internet i saw a few positive results that came from baking the motherboard. So i decided to try it and it failed.... I put the computer back together and now its not doing anything except charging the battery...any helpful suggestions???? I would greatly appreciate it :0)
