Repairing a Dead Motherboard in the Oven the Easy Way - Summary and Test

- Ever had a motherboard that doesn't give any response to pressing the power/start button on the board or on the case? That was the case with this Asrock Z77 OC Formula when I wanted to run it after quite a long time. Absolutely nothing when I tried to press the power button that is on top of the motherboard, and even the case power button pins didn't work.
After cleaning the board thoroughly with my air compressor and checking things with my multimeter I was sure there was no short circuit on the motherboard itself. So I removed all the heatsinks from the motherboard, even the CPU with the socket retention mechanism and the BIOS battery and so on, and I placed the motherboard on top of aluminium foil balls in the oven AT 120 degrees Celcius (°C) for 10-15 minutes. Not at 200°C, which is the common value people use to attempt reballing their dead graphics cards.
After letting the motherboard to cool back down on its own the power button works again, and the motherboard posts successfully. I recommend you try this lower temperature first before going any warmer in attempt to reflow anything.
Interesting video about reballing and video card / laptop repairing by heating up to 120-150c: • Reballing flip chip GP... - Наука та технологія
same issue here with my z77 OC Formula. this board is so nice. thanks to give hope
would replace it with a z390 Dark, but not available...
Would this method work using a 3d printer bed as the heat source but for a lot longer time as it will be not an enclosed space?
i have to use a heat gun on an old gtx 460, it fully works as normal for around 2 months (used daily for older games) then it needs to be done again, i delidded it and applied a bit more heat the third time, so i will see if that makes any difference
Yes, to melt tin you need 232°C, so lower will just create a sort of molecular excitation in the electronic chips. Indeed, it can work a day or a month, depend on the ambient temperature. All is about temperature. Dust can be the problem, sometime when you close-up on the chips, you might see dust particles stick beetween the pins. Use a good antistatic cleaner and dry it with a heat gun, you should get a good result.
Did you try to reseat the clrCMOS jumper before the oven? If the jumper is not there or has bad contact the board will not start.
Yes I did. Could also be that the Chipset BGA is a bit broken.
It's scary to think that this could have been done to any motherboard that you buy used (i.e. of eBay), and the mobo is just ticking down time until it reoccurs....like a month after you receive it :(
That’s why I never buy used motherboards. I buy used other stuff, but not motherboards.
@@vilecandy don't buy used motherboards, don't buy used PSU's, and don't buy used Hardrives, SSD's are ok, GPUs are ok (as long as they didn't use to mine it, and RAM is also ok. Cases are ok too as long as they look good. Fans I would go new aswell.
@@VengeanceLN mined gpu's are also okay as long as they weren't overheating. Their performance do not degrade and it's been tested and proven multiple times. But I still wouldn't buy a gpu that's been used as mining because I refuse to support miners lmao.
@@noodle_Cx agreed
I believe that what happened to me
Have posted an update? It would be interesting to learn how long the solution worked for.
It didn't work for long, some issue with chipset. I sent the board to a local guy for repair attempt.
Could of been moisture in the board over time of no use. I keep my stuff in the anti static bags with little packs of silica gel and seal them up. Then put them in a rubber sealed storage tote. If the board has moisture in it and it gets heated too high too quickly the board will warp n bubble.
hello can i use this method to revive mine? because linus said avoid using this method with an oven used for cooking is it true or is it safe?
Its not the best way to revive a dead motherboard and it doesnt have a 100% succes rate. The motherboard can also release toxic fumes. So dont try it in your everyday oven since it will be unusable after.
Heh. did the same a few days ago. After baking it, but the only result after booting it up again was a blown capacitor... :-/
Do you have any tips on trouble shooting motherboards or do you know someone wo explains it? It appears everything i found expects you to be an electrician.
Blown cap, did you replace? Could have a bad mosfet too or a short from something else.
@@Music-yt7xo hi. haven't replaced it yet. i learned from buildzoid when the oventrick may work and when it doesn't. i suspect i created a short by heating it, but haven't looked into it. as a total beginner it's hard to know where to start. i could look for a short, but i have absolutely no idea which rails to check
120c dors not even melt solder right? So this helped to motherboard or plastic warping or to burn out dust or residues from contacts.
Or just let some key parts to expand a little bit.
the heat releasing moisture from the ic package
We used to heat transistors to fix them, so chips are the same principle.
sometime, if you desolder some transistors, clean them before resolder it works for long time
I managed to temporarily resurrect a Quadro FX 2500M by heatgunning it but after a while it died again, F.
Sir I have Gigabyte G41M combo. It is powering up and heatsink fan is also working but no display output...........
Why sir?
Plz reply
Same issue here, did you figure it out?
Did that to a 2080Ti when they had issues with memory in the early days. Didn’t last more than two days. At least I could still send it back since it happened within the first couple of days
It actually funny he’s cooking it
I’ve got 2 mxm graphics cards 16gb nvidia p5200 and Tesla p6 laptop won’t turn on because of them I’m keeping them in alcohol 96% giving them hot shower in dish washer at 70% then under sun heat all day on and on repeat till it works ! Hopefully 🙏
Yo i just tried this and it worked, not sure how long it'll keep working for ofc
You are welcome :D . Please share my vid!
Dead yet?
Dead yet?
