I baked my video card in the oven, It fixed it

Last week I was working on a laptop that has a discreet video card. I ran a diagnostic test that made me think the computer was working with the exception of the video part.
I read an article I found on Reddit about putting the card in an oven to reflow all the microscopic solder joints to give back the connectivity.
There was nothing to lose as the card was bad.
After the cooling I put the card back in the laptop and it fired right up to my amazement.
