Well I didn't start out putting it in the oven. I just noticed on cold days, it took a really long time to turn on. But when it was hot, it worked normal.

Eventually it got worse and wouldn't come on at all. So I tried warming up the insides with a hair drier, and it worked. It took a long time, but as long as I kept the monitor on, it would keep working fine.

Then the hair dried died. And it was a weekend off of work. I'll be damned if I give up that prime gaming time. So I chukked that puppy in the oven and set it as low as it would go (I think it was like 250). Once the preheat timer went off, I pulled out the monitor, ran it to my PC and fired it up. Worked instantly, and was way faster than a hairdryer.

Lather, rinse, repeat until the inevitable happened.

Great story, glad you shared that. Epic tale of human inventiveness!
