I remember a friend had an issue on an old MacBook Pro. When you started a process asking for a lot of graphic ressources, it would switch to the dedicated graphic card and it would crash inevitably (freeze then blue screen).
We suspected a faulty weld of the card on the motherboard so we disassembled down the laptop and put the motherboard in the oven at 350°F for an hour. Aaand it worked pretty well. It was like re-soldering the graphic card on the motherboard.

That said I don't think the electronics of the TM are of the same quality than apple's motherboards were back then. And there's probably other parts that won't like the cooking.

I know dismantling the TM is not easy but I would suggest only putting the wood in the oven.

Was just going to say the same thing haha it's sunlight not heat and if anything it would turn it more brown, less purple? I don't think you can make it more purple, after it is all finished like this, that UV treatment can be done, maybe it will work now?? Or you could try to dye it lol easier to do with the oak OG!

Apple makes weak hardware. My gaming laptop can easily surpass that temperature unaided after opening 2 Chrome tabs 💪
