Fixed a 2010 MacBook Pro with a trick I saw on a forum from 2012

The board had that classic GPU failure, and I was ready to give up. On a whim, I tried the old oven reflow method with a cheap toaster oven I got for $20, following the exact 385-degree, 8-minute bake from a super old post. It actually booted up and has been running for a week now. Has anyone else had luck with these crazy old fixes on newer stuff, or did I just get stupid lucky?

Baked an old Xbox 360 with the same trick and it's still kicking years later, lol.

Baking your laptop, what could go wrong.
