I tried this on a sony atom netbook a about a month ago and a toshiba notebook a few days back.
Both wouldn't post, candidates for baking. But I was too lazy to rip them off, so I tried
something new.
First was the netbook. I left it on for like 15 minutes. I figured that since the CPU was not running, the thermal protection would not kick in and maybe temp would go high enough to "bake" the chipset and hopefully the fan would prevent it from burning.
The bottom of the case was pretty hot to the touch, maybe its working....
about 15 minutes later, I let it cool down for a few minutes. Then .... low and behold its working.
Same thing with the toshiba notebook, same process, didn't work, on 2nd try I left it for about half an hour and now its back to life.
The netbook belongs to my wife's brother in law, he's been using it till now with no problems so far. The toshiba I'm writing this right now. so far so good.
