Sure, sent you a pm.
I have a Visiontek 5850. As of this morning the fan spins up, but there is no longer video output. I do not see any blown caps or obvious brown spots on the board.
Interested?

got 2-3 more 5970's if you're interested. send me a PM.
2 msi 6990's going here. Just the cards, No boxes
Both mine just fine, no problems ever.
Downclocked and fan speed never went over 65%, heat levels were well managed on them.
I'll take BTC for them.
Have a think. Im off on holiday for a week on sunday.

Still looking for some broken graphics cards... Also interested in FPGAs that work atleast part of the time.... and fpgas in general
Some people bake turkeys on thanks giving... 
Yeah I don't think it worked. I did heat it a second time at a little higher temp. Have yet to test it.
^pmed
^^I wouldnt just start baking for longer and longer... Do you have a meat thermometer or an infrared thermometer (one of those handheld guns) that you could use to check the temperature of your oven after its preheated? Check the temp before you put it in and if it gets anywhere between 385-400 you are probably fine.
Sometimes it doesn't work...

I have a 5870 with loose fan for sale https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/soldwts-his-hd-5870-with-loose-fan-127147
I tried baking it... So far nothing.
Do you bake @ 385'F for 8 minutes?
I have a gas oven and I wonder if I should increase the temp and length it stays in the oven.

Just baked two 5970s in the oven... One now posts where it didn't before... Havn't gotten drivers on it yet so it may still be worthless. Gonna play with it more after thanksgiving.
The other: fan used to spin. Now it doesn't... card won't post. Gonna play with it after thanksgiving as well... Probably killed it though.
Also baked a 7950... no luck there either.

I'll keep it.. It's going in the oven in about 5 minutes.. Got it all taken apart.. I'll laugh if it works properly afterwards
Haha, not hating on you. Never learn untill you try something.
I'll buy anything for the right price anyways...

I just wanted to try.. It's only a 5830 that's been acting wonky.
No but like all other surface mounted parts... They will fall off if you bake/heat for too long 
Seriously: I've heard of people removing electolitic caps and other components before reflow.... But it is a big hassle... honestly, you are taking a risk just by reflowing but if its not under warranty and isn't working then you are not taking too big a risk.
Unless of course you want to sell it to me... I don't buy cards other people have tried a reflow on... Seen too many people over do it, can cause cards that are unsafe to put into any computer(shorts all over the card and in the power circuit).
Good luck though, I probably won't get to my reflows untill after thanks giving.

Not sure what you mean by remove the ports? Short answer is no. You need to remove the heatsink/fan and any thermal paste or pads on the pcb... Had an HDMI port fall off one time when I was replacing a surface mount resistor near it.... Looked like a bitch to get back on so I said screw it ... RMAd the card
... RMAd the card
Let me know how that goes... I might do the same on a card I have.
You have to remove the DVI/HDMI ports correct?
