Ive set my my oven to 125 - 175 degrees, then turn it off and put my phone, watch and even a PC in there to dry them out and dehumidify them for up to an hour. I then wait a day and then put them back to power. I’ve restored all non water proof devices this way so long as the battery doesn’t swell it seems to always work.

Celsius or Fahrenheit before people destroy their hardware?

Surely Fahrenheit, so as to not be above the boiling temperature of water.

I remember fixing a graphics card years ago in the oven. Stripped all the heatsink and other removable parts off it and baked it for 15 mins or so. It reflowed the solider joints nicely and worked for several years afterwards.

For drying, the airflow is much more important than temperature.

> even a PC in there

Wow your oven must be huge.

I assume by PC he means motherboard and components on the motherboard, not the whole case.

What gigantic PC do you own that doesn't fit in the oven? An entire server rack?
