What's up with customers cooking chargers?!

Hi.

A guy just called me and gave the symptoms of a battery OneWire bus issue. He said he has tested the charger on another machine and it works.

Anyway, he recons that he read some voodoo on the net about warming or cooking the charger and he says that he cooked his charger for a bit and when plugged in it showed an orange light that faded out after a few seconds. I told him that cooking the charger will not fix an issue on his logic board....... Anyone care to comment on what's actually going on here please?
It would be good to provide a sound myth debunking explanation.

Well, the world is full of Youtube oven trick idiots....

Well yes I guess so :rolleyes:.....

The internet:

A world of learning, information, collaboration. You can learn almost anything, break down class and social barriers, gain access to the worlds knowledge...... Or, you can post pictures of your dinner on face book and make videos of putting electronics in the oven!
Anyone want to buy a selfie stick? .......Oh FFS
