Thing
Black screen or display corruption
Faulty VGA card due to fractured or dry solder joint
Title
Bake your graphics card
Repair VGA card by re-flowing solder on the board
Introduction
Do you have a dead graphics card?
My friend did, and this is what we did to revive it.
We "re-flowed" the solder on the GPU by baking the video card in the oven for ~10 minutes at ~385F (~195C)
You will need to have some skill with small screwdrivers and a working oven for this procedure
THIS IS FOR CARDS OUT OF WARRANTY ONLY
This guide provides detail on how to re-flow the solder on a graphics card to resolve a fault
Conclusion
The success rate for this procedure is unknown. Even assuming only a 30% rate, it's pretty good considering the card is useless otherwise.
