I'm not sure what exactly "propped up on 4 screws" means. > Is there a photo? I don't want to mess up. Folks in the forum in the link supplied say that the trick can also fix 615N cards. Before you stick the card in the oven remove the plastic bezel as it may discolor or melt in the oven. The card should be elevated so as to not rest on any surface as this may dislodge some of the small soldered pins from their holes. You also want to keep the card level so that the solder doesn't flow to one side. There is a small hole at each corner of the card, you can just use small sheet metal screws 1 inch long or so and just engage them by one thread or so in the small holes, just enough to elevate the card and keep it level while it bakes. It's best to use oven safe glassware or Pyrex dish to hold the card, a metal cookie sheet or the likes may twist or 'pop' up at one corner when heated and this may jar the card or cause the solder to flow away from the pins, glassware will stay level and it will not suddenly 'pop' when heated. If you don't have oven safe glassware you can use a cast iron frying pan or something else that will stay level and not pop up when heated. Preheat the oven to 400F then put the glassware holding the card in the oven and bake it for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes turn off the oven and open the door and let it cool down, you don't want to slide out the oven wire shelf and rattle the card or handle the card when it is hot, this may cause the solder to flow away from the pins or you may dislodge things while the solder is soft. Open the door and don't touch anything and let it cool down to allow the solder to solidify properly before you handle the card. And if it doesn't work... well the card doesn't work now so there isn't much to lose giving it a try, it worked for me and many of the others who posted on the forum. John
