I did that baking-the-motherboard last-resort trick on a Mac Mini three years ago. https://twitter.com/MarkJHandley/status/1245730555846635520

Reallyt didn't think it would work. And when it acctually did, I was sure it would only be a temporary solution. Much to my surprise, it's still going strong today (mostly used as an Octoprint server for my 3d printer.)

I'm sure there's other nasty substances not covered by it, but I'm glad RoHS2 exists for things like this.

Otherwise you would have really had to get a dedicated oven to do that reflowing. Or lead all over your oven.
