I watched a few of those. Thanks for bringing them to my attention.

I tried the simple plug-in fixes. As I expected, didn't work.

Someone showed how to remove the motherboard and bake it in the oven, to melt the solder and reestablish broken connections. But I'm skeptical. Is that for real, or some kind of prank?
