so theory is sound...
and a number of members have done such trials before with success (some not so successful...definitely keep in mind what they did wrong)...
a heat gun and experience makes more sense to me though...
rather than an oven...
Thanks endsormeans - I think you are correct about the plastics and that might be the reason Dongle Fongle didn't exceed 5 minutes in the oven.
I don't have any experience and no heat gun. The motherboard in oven seems to be the easiest solution and it has been done before.
I only need to know what exactly Dongle Fongle did or did not remove and if his solution remained to be successful.
I think I will send a PM to Dongle Fongle to be sure - I usually don't send unsolicited PMs to people but these are desperate times..
