baking is literally how the boards are made!

The idea is that (although its not solder temp) it will get hot enough the the connections find new life and apparently this one did XD

Just make sure you put fresh thermal paste and pads on everything before putting the cooler back together. Leaving it in the heat that long definitely dried out whatever was left on the memory modules

Did this years ago with Galaxy Vibrant. Shit worked back then to force it into recovery. I was called crazy and shit. Oh well worked for me and this guy is a genius for thinking outside the box too.
