NO POWER Mac mini 2011. Suspect logic board. Anyone tried oven bake?

A proper infra red heating station with magnification lens and eye protection and temperature control is the ultimate tool because there is no air blowing which could dislodge your part.

But yeah, good answers for the do-it-your-selfer quickie fixes. Works for the most part.

I see some expensive stuff that looks good and some hot-air reballing and soldering tools on eBay which would probably focus the air into a smaller and not so forceful output which may effect the micro circuitry in the smaller boards like this and cell phone repair.

Some chips may be erased by the UV spectrum perhaps so considerations may have be taken there.

Now I'm thinking on building one of these as IR/UV is used to set some glues used in cellphones and repairing a lot of stuff and this is my hobby.

I would like to add that I don't recall giving this answer.

After all attempts have been exhausted I would attempt an oven rebate if the conditions are right you shouldn't have any troubles but if that isn't the issue, you risk further damage.

Suggest letting someone that has experience dealing with that if you don't have the time patience and a bit of skills in that area connectors are easily damaged, mishandling perhaps, Maybe someone on your local kijiji or craigslist can help...

Its good to have a parts machine that works so you figure things out easier as well. This way known test points can be taken or parts exchange or a power brick perhaps. People that work on these should have such things.

People on kijiji should have an address &phone number and not want to meet at a Tim Horton coffee shoppe or to front door of apartment building.
