Off Topic / Crazy PC Repair.

« on: April 25, 2011, 07:13:09 pm »

So my computer decided to become 'faulty' recently. (I have a macbook pro) Graphics buggered up and had to re-start, gradually getting less and less time logged on until I couldn't even boot it up.

Did a quick crack open and clean of the insides, replacing some messy thermal paste. Nothing. General consensus: graphics card fried. Damnit. Considering the graphics card is built into the logic board that'll be about $700 to replace. F-that.

Quick search around the net and a couple of different recovery ideas later no dice. I was getting drastic so time to get to some extreme measures. I found an idea that some people had done, with success, for recovery of broken graphics cards. The idea is simple, put your graphics card (or in my case logic board) in the OVEN. 10 mins at 200 degrees centigrade. Even when you are in last resort territory you are still cautious. I did it for 8 mins at 180 degrees centigrade. Patched it back up, booted up and the only thing gone wrong so far is that the date/time was set at 2008.

I'm speechless.

Has anyone ever heard of this or tried some crazy recovery techniques?

Holy shit! these are pretty sweet. Was this a screen shot paint-over or did you free hand it with reference? Or did you do this in photoshop?

Was done in Photoshop.

I put together a recording on how I do it in Photoshop so people can see and replicate if they want to...

Note: In the most recent version of Photoshop, to make the color layer, you need to go to "Blending options..." by right clicking the layer, and then change the option from "Normal" to "Color"! -Tbone

I have the latest version? O_O - odj

but can you duel with them?

You tell me.

Considering you can tell that they are trying their hardest not to hit the blades together to hard and bugger up their sabers I'd say no. xP

Hows that ada? I added a blue glow to the side of his face and hand for the saber and hologram.

That's awesome. Can you remove the blue from the face? The saber I put with him is white. Otherwise that's amazing

Can do...

So how do you do it?

Um you looking for step-by-step instructions or just a general idea? Its just a white background with increase of the exposure of the image some glow around the outside to simulate the white background bleeding in, a bit of smoothing on the image and a splash of colour here and there.
