Canada is my city
So, I have that Late 2009 iMac that now sits on a little table being pointless and only serving as a collection computer, now that I built a new powerful PC. Unfortunately, its graphics card is nearly dead, and I failed at underclocking the card (I couldn't install Windows). I have read a few articles about reflowing the graphics card (putting it in the oven) and although this seems like it would work, I'm kinda scared of doing it. Repairing the graphics card is something I would like to do since I like having a fully functional computer, although I can't buy a new one since they cost $250+.

What do you think? Any tips of doing it or should I completely avoid doing that?
