Seriously,DON'T even consider this,you could melt any plastic parts!it needs a reflow for a proper repair.Its the same as the towel trick for the 360,it may work for a while but it WILL go again!!

I have reflowed loads of xbox 360's,and the safest way is with a heatgun and covering all capacitors and plastic parts,it lasts longer.I'm pretty sure that plastic has a lower melting point that metal! Check any gaming forums and i'll bet every one does not condone sticking it an oven.Capacitors cannot take a lot of heat and will swell and leak.There's also a very good chance that the board will warp.

So,yes,i do know what i'm talking about!

IF you know what you are doing and take care it is not too difficult

My nephew did this about 18 months ago and its still going strong

That's not a reflow, that's a bodge job...

 

a proper reflow uses a soldier station, with a proper reflow fitting thats just bigger than the size of the chip(s), this way it's contained and other components aren't affected, there's also a certain degree of pressure that needs to be applied too at a certain point for a certain length of time..

 

using a heatgun is almost as bad as putting it in an oven to be honest!

Aaahh right,so you've seen me do one then?

How do you know what i do and don't do?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

RUBBISH!

 

I use a good quality flux and a good template on small stand-offs to isolate the 2 chips,so far 100% fix rate which have lasted,never had one back yet!
