    So I heard people saying you can bake a video card back to life. I know the temp, but how are you supposed to position it in the oven? Someone said using aluminum balls or something. Also, I heard it should be 5 mins then try the card then another 5 mins, try the card. The reason I'm asking is a friend might sell me a RRoD'd 360 for $10 and I heard you can bake those back to life as well.

    If its for a 360 you might do best by just ordering a RROD repair kit. They are quite cheap and I think they come with everything you need to do it.

    Don't forget salt and pepper. Easy on the butter, though.
