A while ago, both my XO 1.5 units from the contributor's program pooped out. Wouldn't boot at all. My friend kevix said he had a similar issue with his and that it was a solder issue.<br><br>I was going to send them back to Holt, but then I read about solder reflow.<br>
<br>So, I took the mobo out of one of the XO 1.5 units, broke it down to just the board and nothing else, then put it in the toaster. On a metal pan supported by four balls of tin foil: 385F for 8 mins. Put everything back together and, to my complete and utter astonishment, it booted. In fact, I'm typing this email on it now.<br>
<br>My question is, has anyone else ever tried this and, if so, are there more optimal time/temperature parameters. I still have the other XO 1.5 unit to attend to and I'd like to hear some feedback before baking it.<br>
