GOATed repair. Insane. What a reballing masterclass. Just amazing. Thank you so much for giving us all the info about your temperatures and configuration. Amazing job!!
I love when you flux surface mount components and the auto aline themselves when in doing rework on tiny resistors and the suface tention of the solder auto aligns the components its just so satisfying
Excellent, Loved the technique of using the tweezers to encourage the ball to sit while in the gale of the hot air when you were on the apu re-ball 1:07:33 and 1:08:09. I always learn something. 👍. The garbage dump and repair community thanks you for persistence. Really enjoyed it thanks for sharing.
I’ve liked and subscribed to your channel. I have device repair shop. I do playstation repair. But I’ve watched your an hour long video just to see what i did everyday. Love it. Keep it going. Keep pumping more video!
A very good difficult job on this PS4.....and a very difficult job and with a lot of patience in editing this very long video....but I can say that it was one of the few long videos that I watched with great pleasure until the end.. .from the 1st to the last second...thanks a lot for the excellent video.
Very well done. I had my fair share of struggles with reballing. I found each reballing I have done there is always significant to little variations. Have to adjust as you go along. Practice makes perfect. I have had failures and sucesss. Perhaps consider to get a holder for the hotair handle or build one. I could feel your pain holding the hotair handle over that chip for so long. I really appreciate the hardwork and thankyou for sharing.
When I think that at the beginning of the video, I thought reballing the ram IC ship was already too difficult for me... DAMN! You're too strong, congrats on the repair! I have a ps4 someone sold me with "no video" issue, and I found out that it was actually a BLOD with a missing RAM IC on the motherboard. Definitely got scammed... So, I really hope I won't have to reball the APU when putting a new RAM ship!
Good job and very well explained. Just a tips, I use kaptor or aluminum tape on the apu and memories so they don't receive direct heat, and don't leave the hot air gun on the apu for too long just like you left it, I circle it around the apu and pass over it a few times. Thanks for the video.
Recently discovered your channel and have been binge watching. Love your laid back, methodical approach to repairs. Question for yah. In this video, I noticed you have the same hot air station as me. Where did you find the BGA nozzles for it?? I've scoured AliExpress but haven't seen anything that is specifically for the Quick 861dw. Thanks for sharing your content!
If you are referring to the large BGA nozzle, I bought that from eBay and modified it. The listing said it was for an 850 which is another Chinese hot air station I believe. It had a screw clamp type of mount. I found that if I cut off the clamp, what remained would fit snug into the barrel of my Quick 861DW. Here is the listing: www.ebay.com/itm/383174960680
I would have liked to see how long you stress tested this. BGA reballs can last for 2 hours or 2 days. It needs to be stress tested or it’s technically not entirely fixed. Still you did some great work on this console. Good job overall!
NICELY DONE! ball join while reballing is a must have lesson. I use preheat plate to do small chip like southbridge but seems your hot air way is slightly more controllable, plus burning finger though. What's the BIG nozzle model you use when top heating the APU?
When I saw the length of this video I thought: Is this the 24 Hours of Le Mans for console repairmen? OK ... I won't be on the podium (that's your place and please get on the center step) but I made it all the way to the finish line. All the best.
It is a master class no doubt about it Wow, I just begging to learn electronic but to go at your level, it's gonna take a long time, but if you can I can. Thanks Sr or ing.
Great. I have everything except the heater. Do you think it would be possible to unsolder the processor without preheating? And one more thing - where did you place the temperature sensor on the board or under it? But I guess it doesn't matter.
Another wonderful video, i have a PS4 CUH-1116A, the motherboard is dead, no beeps, no lights, i have an identical working board, i connected the 5v connector from the ps4 power supply and it beeps and attempts to turn on, i cross-checked resistance and voltages on the dead board and they all seem to be same as the working board but it won't beep or attempt to turn on, please can you suggest what i should check next? the cmos cell was dead so i replaced that too
@@ToltecMerc I saw in the video that you use the heater I have the same one, only I modified it with the upper heater and the controller I'm also going to reball APU PS4 good job
Hello. I have a PS 4 slim. It has a problem turning on, it turns on and works normally, you turn on and after re-turning on the blue light. From the outlet, disconnect the console and after 5 minutes on it starts and again when you turn off the same trouble.
Hello, thanks for the video. Where can I buy the header you used for the Quick 861dw? Can you post the link of the product? What is your disassembly temperature and airflow while disassembling and installing?
You can take a look at some of the small Adonstar microscopes with the built in display. That's what I started with. They are somewhat limited as to what you can get under them as the stand gets in the way.
Would making a note of the diode figures of the Chips pads "Whilst Re-balling" be any use to verify, Lets say some other suspect chip from another Unit, ergo perhaps saving time and or even saving a good chip from being discarded.. APU 👁👍
Diode reading notes are always helpful. It can be time consuming. I will make notes on some items but I usually just try to keep a working PCB around to make comparisons to.
ToltecMerc whats that nozzle you have hooked on your Quick 861DW ? What bottom heater are you using ??? What temperature did you set on the hot air and air flow and bottom heater as well
The nozzle is a 45x45mm BGA nozzle for an 850 hot air station. I had to modify it slightly to fit on my Quick 861DW. I got it from eBay. The preheater is an Puhui T-8280.
@@brycond809 I don’t have an adapter. I’m using a BGA nozzle for another brand of hot air station. I cut the screw clamp off so that it would slide onto my Quick 861DW. The modified nozzle is a tight friction fit.
I have two ps4's that need an apu reball (white light when additional pressure is used) but i've been afraid to try it so far, I have the same pre-heater you have
I may have close to 20 PS4s in my garage that I have not been able to fix because they need APU reballs. It's time to start going through them! Thanks for wathing!
If I remember correctly, this console had physical damage. It was slightly crushed. A RAM IC was physically damaged and the APU solder balls were damaged.
Well done but for content it's one thing the ficability on repair cost with the time spend I can never see it making business sense if it does please explain
It's definitely not worth the time to repair from a financial stand point. I am a hobbyist. I get enjoyment from repairing these consoles. I also learn a lot by repairing them. It's not a business, it's a hobby. I enjoy the challenge.
That's odd. Those two voltages do both go to the RAM but I've never seen the resistance go high. The RAM usually go low resistance when they fail. Perhaps a broken connection somewhere so the supplies are not connected to all the RAM?
@@ToltecMerc i checked my friends slim it has 27 and 50 ohms though the layout is somewhat different. So i believe it's the same in slim and fat and mine is having issues. Broken connection means I should try reflowing the rams then.
@@amirmaleki3478 yes. You can soak the motherboard and ultra sonic clean it. But you need to make sure the board is bone dry before you assemble it. I have a heating plate that i use to dry the board after I submerge in alcohol.
Sir I have a ps4 fat and when you turn it on it pulses blue light for about 5 mins then goes to white light but shows nothing on screen. So I’ve replaced the encoder and two EMI filters that were not having continuity on them but the problem still persists. Any ideas where else I could check ?
Five minutes seems like a long time for it to flash blue. Check each pin of the HDMI port with your meter in diode mode with red probe on ground. You should get a reading on every pin except 14 which is not used.
@@ToltecMerc Thanks my man I sorted it out. It turns out the EMI filters I pulled from a donor board were faulty so I replaced those and BAAAAM! It worked
If you have a good stencil and lot of practice then yes. It’s easier for me to get more consistent results with solder balls. I do use paste more often now than I use to.

Great repair! You have convinced me to buy a pre heater 😁
They make most jobs easier and some jobs possible.
Great job as usual. How come you used bottom heater on donor board only for the memory chip?
The donor chips had lead free solder balls under them. Once reballed with leaded solder balls they required much less heat to install.
Good job
Thanks so much!

@@ToltecMerc 20 vids incoming.. Fun times 😅
What temp use with air hot station to soldering RAM?
If they have leaded solder balls, probably 350C. If lead-free, probably closer to 400C.
It's a Reball .... Watch out Louis Rossmann! :)
Rossman wishes he could reball an APU! Thanks for stopping by!
And how would apu go the same time as one of the rams it would be one or the ather but both 🤔
If I remember correctly, this console had physical damage. It was slightly crushed. A RAM IC was physically damaged and the APU solder balls were damaged.
What temperature do you use for reballing, I had it now a few times that the chip popcorns
Reball with paste, you might get away with 300C. Reball with leaded balls, maybe 350C. Installing the chips, 400C.
Thanks
