I tried resoldering a laptop in an oven once in 2007ish. Sadly it only worked a very short time, like, maybe got the boot screen (I don't quite remember) and it uh was not in good shape. Dumb things you do in college

I took a few RROD Xbox 360's and revived them (for a while) by baking them in the oven with the capacitors insulated.

I reckon across 3 boxes I did this to, I eked out a couple hundred more hours of use.
