Unreal! I can't believe I haven't heard of this or tried it before.
So here's what I want to try it on, and would like some advice on the 'right' way to do it. I have two g.skill ddr 1gb modules that a friend sent to me. Unfortunately, during shipment, someone two of the modules heatsinks knocked of a resistor from each module. I have the resistors, but they are too tiny for me to solder. So what about baking them back to life, and if so how?
I've soldered those years ago. I believe the trick is to not use too high of head when you do it.. I don't think the oven trick will work.
Prob best to find someone local that can did it or online.. hopefully the resistors are not damaged.
