Roast Laptop.

[techs]

So I put a customers laptop computer in the oven. Seems they spilled a ton of water on it, and I disassembled it as much as possible and now have it in the oven.

Throw these in there while you're at it:

...why?

 

[funkymatt]

this is a great idea. heat won't damage any components.

 

[randay]

this will not end well for you.

Convection oven, or EasyBake?

I love the smell of burning plastic in the morning.

What exactly are the baking instructions for a laptop? 350 for 30 minutes for an Eee PC, 475 for 2 hours for a brand new Dell XPS or Alienware or the new Envy?

I think those temps. would be too high... I would assume he's using the lowest temp. I don't know much about baking laptops though.

Trolling again OP?

not a dumb idea, but not the smartest. blowing air over the system would have much better results, as most ovens dont have any circulation to move that hot air around. if you keep it around 130 deg it shouldnt bother most components in there, but the moisture still wont dissipate much better than just putting a few fans on it in room temp. best thing you can do is take as many covers off as you can and let it sit for 4 days.

All convection ovens have a small fan which circulates the hot air.

Correct

Interesting to read all the remarks.
In fact, I just barely heat the oven. Its about 90-95 degrees in there. Pop in the laptop for about 30 minutes, than remove and blow out with air. Repeat three or four times.

COOL? turn it up and make a video for us.

The thing will be bone dry and tuff as nails at this rate. I recommend marinating in a sugar/salt brine for 1 hour/ pound and roast at 525 F for 45 minutes then 400 for additional 20min/pound.

Let set for 25 minutes and carve across the grain.

Smarter just to open it and blow a fan on it.
