This risky technique involves literally baking the circuit board in an attempt to revive the device to a functional state. The theory is that the device may have become non-functional due to faulty solder joints, and by heating the PCB in the oven, the solder will reflow and rejoin the broken connections.<\/p>\n<p>There are a couple of problems with this method. First, the chances of successfully melting solder using a standard oven or toaster oven are unlikely. Secondly, if you do manage to melt the solder, any slight jiggle (for example, while removing the device from the oven) could create solder bridges hidden under the microchips or ruin the perfectly aligned array of solder balls. Applying power to a device with faulty solder connections could cause irreparable damage to the microchips.<\/p>\n<p>While there have been some reported instances where this \u201ctechnique\u201d has temporarily brought a device back to life, it is more likely to cause permanent damage to your device, make your house stink, and ruin your oven. Specialized tools and techniques exist that are designed to reflow solder, and a consumer-grade oven is not one of them.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 32px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div><h2 class=\"vcex-heading vcex-heading-plain vcex-module wpex-heading wpex-text-2xl wpex-h2\"><span class=\"vcex-heading-inner wpex-inline-block\">The result of the baking \u201ctechnique\u201d<\/span><\/h2>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p>It will come as no surprise that we do not recommend baking any device (SSD, flash drive, camera card, motherboard, etc.) as part of the repair or data recovery process, particularly if there is irreplaceable data on the device. However, we recently received a Sandisk SSD Plus that had been handled with an extra special take on this \u201cArmchair Expert\u201d method. Take a look at the photos below &#8211; they show the actual device sent to DriveSavers for data recovery.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 32px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_inner vc_row-fluid wpex-relative\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_ wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"\" data-lightbox=\"lightbox[rel-61427-3592580691]\" href=\"https:\/\/drivesaversdatarecovery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/baking_drive_2_size-1024x683.jpg\" target=\"_self\" class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper   vc_box_border_grey\"><img width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/drivesaversdatarecovery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/baking_drive_2_size.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"\" title=\"Baked SSD\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drivesaversdatarecovery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/baking_drive_2_size.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/drivesaversdatarecovery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/baking_drive_2_size-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/drivesaversdatarecovery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/baking_drive_2_size-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/drivesaversdatarecovery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/baking_drive_2_size-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_ wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"\" data-lightbox=\"lightbox[rel-61427-478247448]\" href=\"https:\/\/drivesaversdatarecovery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/baking_drive_3_size-1024x683.jpg\" target=\"_self\" class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper   vc_box_border_grey\"><img width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/drivesaversdatarecovery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/baking_drive_3_size.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"\" title=\"baking_drive_3_size\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drivesaversdatarecovery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/baking_drive_3_size.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/drivesaversdatarecovery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/baking_drive_3_size-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/drivesaversdatarecovery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/baking_drive_3_size-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/drivesaversdatarecovery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/baking_drive_3_size-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p>This do-it-yourselfer took data destruction (intended to be data recovery) to another level by baking the entire solid-state drive without even removing the board.
