I hope you did indeed fix the problem.
I would point out, however, that 385F isn't
quite high enough to melt the lead-free solder
used in the XO-1, and those laptops might
fail again soon.
Suggestions for future tries:
Start by baking the board for thirty minutes
at 180F (below the boiling point

It's probably also worth noting that to the best of my knowledge, no one at
OLPC would recommend to typical XO users sticking any part of an XO in a
toaster oven.
If we encounter a laptop which we believe has this soldering issue, we
usually send it back to the factory instead of attempting to rep
