Replacing a Damaged CPU Socket on an LGA1150 Mini-ITX Motherboard
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 июл 2024
- In this video, I go over the process of replacing a damaged LGA1150 CPU socket on a Gigabyte Z97 Mini-ITX motherboard, which I got off eBay for only $50. I initially thought it would just be a simple case of straightening out some bent pins in the socket, but it turned out that one of the pins was completely broken, causing the board not to POST. After replacing the socket with one I got for $5 from Aliexpress, the board began working perfectly!

Doesn't exactly look like I can do this at home but cool nonetheless.
10 dollar solder, 10 dollar heat gun, space motherboard, your set, it's possible
@Danny i think thats a hot air gun to melt the solder balls.
also that heating plate makes work so much easier. its probably possible to do this job with just a hot air gun but it may require extra hands.
But availability of new socket and its cost + shipping cost etc all matter since its mostly such components are only available in China!
slap that thing over a grill
@Danny Its a duct that guide the hot air... You could try to attach a heat resistant duct with a funnel a at the end to a hot air gun and achieve similar results.
If you are crafty you should easily be able to replicate what he did.
2:36 Remove BATTERY, metal socket bracket and anything else removable.
4:21 Board heater to 180℃ / 356℉. (He uses a Puhui T8280 board preheater)
4:35 Add flux to the perimeter of the socket.
5:01 Add the hot-air nozzle over the socket. Heat to 250℃ / 482℉.
5:38 Socket is now loose. Remove steaming socket with pair of tweezers.
6:10 Squeeze more flux onto bare pads.
6:34 With hot soldering iron, add a touch of solder and start swirling tip, gathering big ball of solder as you swirl.
6:43 After swirling all around board, swirl again but now pressing down on solder wick with soldering iron.
7:32 Clean up old flux using rubbing alcohol and paper towel.
8:14 Apply more flux. Not a TON, but enough.
8:52 If you've applied too much, wipe away a little with a paper towel.
9:27 Set down new socket, and just line it up.
9:55 Put hot air nozzle back in place (assumedly to 250℃ / 482℉).
10:05 After some arbitrary amount of time, turn off hot air nozzle and let board cool down. (Not sure how to determine if the solder balls on the bottom are fully melted / soldered).
11:00 Reinstall CMOS battery, metal socket bracket, etc.
11:14 Reinstall CPU, cooler, ATX power, etc. Showtime!
you did something that without your explanation of critical notes and points about the process about how to make things right, this video could be useless. Thanks!!!!
what is the flux???
Hi
those pins solder in
What hot air did you use here buddy?
Dude, this is hero-level stuff....I've had so many of those 1150 boards turn to scrap for broken pins. Amazing.
Donate them to this lad
@@mohankrishna1443 : i dont mind donating some parts i have
@@ThisOLmaan something fishy 🧐 what are those parts by the way!
It's fairly an easy job for someone who has a bga rework station. We change these sockets for 30 dollars including the socket here in Turkey.
@@oynamalan Is it possible for you to contact me with your or your company"s contact info about replacing a LGA 1151 on a motherboard
Sometimes you know why someone is doing something but you have absolutely no idea what exactly that person is doing but you can just appreciate the awesomeness of what is being done. This is one of those times. Great job.
you may not understand the individual steps but, you have the appreciation for replacing a part that wasn't designed to be replaced/permanently attached.
"never seen anyone replaced a processor socket before"
same
bro
@J Fz so its basically impractical and its better to just buy new one, correct?
@@omgsam7185 Also... having the equipment to perform this operation would be rare unless you use it for your profression.
Yeah bro
@@Donivar so I guess it's really difficult and the cost of doing this outweighs buying a new one? Unless that board is made out of diamond lol
that noise haunts me in my dreams
adds to the mad scientist vibe
weeeeooooooooeeeeeeeooooooooooeeeeeeoooooooooeeeeeeoooooooooeeeooooooooowwww
Thats the sound of the chip nononon the socket
Turn on captions for the sped up part where he was cleaning the part on PCB *APPLAUSE*
Earthbound, fight with Giygas - this is the same noise...
They should put the socket in a socket
Better idea than it first sounds! I wouldn't expect it to happen though, because fabs would lose revenue if consumer repairs like this became easy.
apple would just remove both sockets.
then the same thing would happen when the base socket breaks...
@@minbcraft True, though I must say that although I'm not arguing with you (and don't get me wrong, I appreciate constructive discussion)...(also, get ready for a wall of text)
...it'd be less likely for the base socket to break, as the end user wouldn't generally have a need to mess with it. The socket could also be of a different, more durable and more difficult to remove type, to prevent the issue in question from happening as well as discourage the end user from messing with it respectively. I think it'd have to be a different type anyway, as I can't really see an LGA package with an LGA socket as feasible. I'm thinking an LGA socket on a PGA package, with a PGA socket for the base.
Thanks for reading :)
@@minbcraft Easy, just add another socket for that socket. Problems solved
"That should be enough flux"
**Louis Rossmann has entered the chat**
There is no such a things as too much flux!
that's why the black sheep face have a $5000 ultrasonic cleaner LUL
The bigger the blob, the better the job.
Among the most impressive things I have seen on RUclips. Well done sir!
Thank you RUclips for showing me this!! OMG I never saw someone do this before, this is amazing!!
This is the most impressive thing I’ve seen in a very long time. Outstanding work.
Excellent job! Those pins are so incredibly fragile and can be so hard to fix. Great that you have the skill and equipment for replacing the socket. Thanks for sharing!
Nice Job and Great informative video 👍👍👍
Please attempt this in a video, I know you can do it!
That's impressive. I've looked into having a socket replaced on one of my x58 boards, but I couldn't get a decent price to make it economical. From what I've read, replacing a cpu socket required expensive BGA systems, but this looks like a DIY at home job. Well done!
he IS using a BGA system, that preheat board is a BGA system...
Watching you do board level repairs and upgrades is definitely a boon to my knowledge about IT as a whole.
When I had my damaged LGA socket in dual CPU Mac Pro tray I tried to find at least how to replace ANY CPU socket - I could find..... NOTHING - You are genius :)
Damn dude you're so talented, let's get that subscriber count up!
talent has nothing to do with it. having the propper tools does
@@darkracer1252 And steady hands!
@@darkracer1252 and patience
@@darkracer1252 and knowledge
I would recommend using Alcohol base flux not tacky flux when working with CPU sockets to prevent Socket pins become sticky after reflow, unless you intend to ultrasonic clean the entire motherboard.
Wow, i've never seen a socket replacement before! Next level man!
Finally the first video when someone actually shows the working part after the job is done.
a technician: fixes broken motherboard by replacing the socket
me: just puts a random piece of metal into the hole with missing pin and the motherboard actually works
the technician: AM I A JOKE TO YOU
Omg
You're a clever guy if you can do that with lga socket motherboards.
if this metal moves only a little it can cause a short and damage the mobo even harder and maybe the cpu and a lot more things. to be sincere, i have a board like that here and that's exactly what i'm thinking to do but that's my main concern. did you saw before what's the pin for ? and tested if it works without it ? because maybe its not even touching hte contacts
@@leoyru.3361 Well, I actually do not really care what would happen to the pc, since I fixed it and in the result I just bought a laptop, but anyways, it didnt boot without the pin + the socket i did that on has under 1K pins, so it was quite easier and till now (I did this like 2 month ago) the computer works just fine
Only thing Im little bit worried about is that the metal might melt down, but I dont think that the cpu will be that hot
@@itzarty Most of the metals need 200 C or more to melt, so you dont have to worry about that :D
I have the same problem.One missing pin and a few bent ones.Had to buy a new board.
I think I will hold on to my broken board , get your address and ship it to you for fixing :) ... lol
I have the same board new with a missing pin lol. Someone tried to fix the bent pins as well. Gonna have to give this a try when I have the chance. Thanks for the video!
Damn technology, you scary!
But honestly this is awesome. Too bad manufacturers won't bother with this kind of repair. I'm not in the US but I'm full on with you guys on the right to repair movement!
people like linus, bitwit and other can't do this things, man you are legend
If I hadn't seen this with my own eyes, I wouldn't believed it could be done. I would have liked to see the underside of the new socket, though. Thank you, great video.
ppl like this guy are very rare nowadays. So cheers !
Amazing, dude, wish I could do that myself... I just got 4 motherboards with a damaged CPU socket... :/
Go AMD next time lmao
What was ur airflow for the hot air station? How do you tell its soldered
aside from the noise....... this is the ONLY video i have seen (and ive seen a bunch) that ACTUALLY doesnt give you a case of the pucker-factor.
good job Sir..
Everyone says this is IMPOSSIBLE. Thanks for showing it's possible. It's beyond most people's level but still it's awesome to see.
Hi, what was the funnel attachment that you used with your rework station? Also, great job.
GOOD
Bên mình có sửa ntn ko a
Great work! I really enjoyed watching this video. It was like watching a really good educational video on PBS or something. You were informative and patient and even though many of us won't have the equipment to do this on our own unfortunately I'm glad we got to see you share with us how to do it regardless. You got my Like and def Subscribed. Very well done. This is what we should be learning so we can truly reuse our computer parts instead of just simply saying it's busted, recycle it and buy a new one. This can go to build a whole new system for a school or a kid wanting their first computer. This was awesome. Thank you for doing this video man and hope to watch more on your channel!
have to admit it was a really good video I seen in a while, well worth it
The only thought I come out... "Can I send you my board?"
I'm amazed that when you removed the socket, none of the nearby parts got unsoldered and fell off, particularly the chip capacitors in the middle of the socket. I didn't understand why you didn't need to put solder paste on the board to replace what you removed. I guess that the socket itself is a BGA, and has solder balls underneath instead of contacts.
I had to go looking for this too. They do appear to come pre-balled like BGA chips. I might give this a try too.
I was wondering the same thing, but interesting to know that sockets can come pre-balled i had no idea lmao but i also do not do much soldering.
Here's a top tip for you: The small lid that comes with the new socket? just put it on top of the old socket and use the vaccum pump to pull it, don't use two tweezers like you did because you'll eventually hit a capacitor or resistor on your way out.
p.s. thank you for your patches, your work and your overwall amazingness
I don't have much skills to do this, but watching you replace that socket was satisfying.
What tools have you used in this video?
Take a shot every time he says "socket"
Where the fuck I am
Go ahead.
HELL YEAH !!!!!!
your video is the one that contains the test run,other video do same but it doesnt show test run,keep it up
Until this day, i didnt know that sockets could be repaired/replaced. This video is just AMAZING.
i have several questions and doubts tho:
1- where can i find/buy a board pre heater and a hot air nozzle for this type of work?
2- how did you know when the socket was soldered ready to the board?
3- the exact temperatures for the work are: 200°C under the board with the pre heater and 250°C over the socket with the nozzle?
4- how much time should you wait for the whole board to cool down?
5- how do you know that the socket is perfectly lined up with the board?
Thanks a lot to anyone who can answer this questions for me!
Next video : How to repair broken transistor of your CPU 🤯
Underrated comment xD
Can you do that? :)
@@eirikofholen ehh no
@@eirikofholen if you're a Intel machinery I'm not sure but you can try
if you have a machine and schematic then go ahead
"It's actually a pretty easy process"
If this is easy..then what isn't??
This is a1st for me - seeing a CPU socket changed - knew it could be done - never did it before
binging your videos because you're so well-spoken and obviously have a wealth of knowledge. thank you for all your hard work that not only goes to these videos, but to your macOS patchers as well! you're a legend dosdude1~
This is required knowledge and machine . This is difficult task ..I appreciate 👏👏
How does one align the new socket? Just visually, or are there mechanical stops?
visually, all around the socket location are lines which help with alignment
Amazing how all of this is repairable with the right tools. Tons of products with similar symptoms go to waste because its what the industry wants us to do hehe.
Except it ain't not really. By repair you describe task that restore all components to the working condition before the damage or malfunction. By putting other PCB components under such intensive heat stress you are at risk of causing potential heat damage.
You can do this??? Wow. On a $50 board no less! Impressed.
This is an old video but I definitely needed this. I might get it done. I hence a board with an i7-3820 chip I want to use. Great video man!
Wow! Did not know this was possible!
For the rest of us mere mortals... gotta buy a new one.
Very informative video. What board heater and hot air gun do you use or recommend? Thanks
I use a Puhui T8280 preheater, and a Hakko 850 clone hot air station. There are much better hot air stations than that, though.
dosdude1 ever replaced a socket on a Mac Pro logic board? Burned off one of the pins on mine
@@dosdude1 Do you have to use a preheater to change a socket out or would a powerful hot air station be enough?
@@Jaymiecain1 I know it's a late reply, but on a thick board like a motherboard which has multiple layers, you really should be using a preheater because the board will warp if you just use hot air over the top. Not to mention that the preheater is also helping get the bottom up to temperature so that you can use a lower temp over the top so as to not melt things that are plastic, etc.
@@Jaymiecain1 You can use 100W halogen floodlight as a preheater.
You made it look not so hard,but I’m sure it isn’t that easy.Great video.Wish I was competent enough to attempt this myself.
Dosdude1 just replaced a CPU socket on an Apple iMac motherboard for me. Worked great!!
COVID got me desperate for parts out here. Wish me luck.
Did u finish it? I finished my and I started 6-7 months ago
Great job! I have a question - you cleaned up the board nice, but where did that NEW solder come from in order for the socket to be actually securely and surely soldered on? The legs were factory pretinned? Wish you had shown us the back of the new socket or at least the new one.
yes the sockets come with solder balls already on the bottom.
love the way you make it look so easy..
This is awesome! Many thanks for sharing this knowledge 🙏
Hi, Thank you for an excellent video. Would you be kind enough to tell us the name of the motherboard heating machine?
Why not use a high temp heat gun ? That’s pretty much all that is. Just heats up hot is all. I believe on RUclips guy made a homemade stand with a heat gun doing this. So obviously heat guns will work. Not no hair dryer either. Might work idk how hot they get.
@@Lethalwar Nah, too risky. They don't have precise thermal regulation, these industrial blowers i mean.
I fixed a gpu with that blower tho, instead of putting it in the oven i heated the pcb up just enough for it to get a proper connection again.
Should cut the audio and do a commentary for the parts with loud machinery.
The machinery did not bother me. Watching this video on my desktop his voice BOOMS at 125Hz lol. I have this EQ plugin for Chrome I use for videos like this.
@@MaxUgly well it bothers to me like does to OP
Of course, I didn't mean to downplay what OP said. If you are as nerdy as me you might be interested in applying your own eq to certain videos you watch. It is nice to have, along with a compressor.

awesome repair, Gigabyte dual bios is such a pita, one time i corrupted both of the bioses when testing a gpu, had to bust out a raspberry pi to flash the bios back, sold the board afterwards
Amazing Works, congrats!!
"THE MACHINE IS WORKING!" MUhahahhahHAHAHHA (demonic emphasis added)
Imaging after he finished replaced it then suddenly drop the camera on those pin.
I don't wanna even imagine this xDDD
Nice repair, board looked like it was worth saving.
great repair bud, good skils
Such a good video but the dude didn't put any info like what tools he used or whatever.
Because the average consumer doesn't need this equipment lmao
If you had a money printer you would share what to buy with others you don't know? :P It's a trade, so he probably assumes those that are watching do this on a daily basis. He did explain what he used, "A board heater", and a "Hot air station" But that is either modified on a boom, or a legit BGA Hot air Station. Many different models and variations. The one you get is a lottery thing on how it works for you. I understand your comment though, but this is really tedious work. I change Bios chips occasionally so far and this would wreck my mind currently. lol Stress, If you bump anything else at this level of heat, you could literally wipe out any part of the motherboard by just dropping something on it. I however would prefer to watch a video of someone just deleting all the components off the board for a clear example of how fast and how bad things could go wrong in this scenario. Heating the bottom of the board too much could cause components to drop off the back side as well. Great job, I am jealous of how steady your hands are! Mine would just force drop stuff and probably laugh at me if they could... :P
You can make do with a "reworking station" you see on ebay. "Reworking" is the translation for "desoldering/soldering" done in repairing a manufactured pc board. I got one off ebay for about $90. They come with a hot air gun and a soldering iron both connected to a box with digital temperature readouts. You flick the switch to turn on either soldering iron or hot air gun, then turn the knob to raise temp to your desired level. The equipment is easy to use but it takes a lot of practice to know what temp to use on specific items since some are temp sensitive and some larger items need a lot of heating to melt the solder. If you know soldering or have electronics as a hobby, its well worth it to buy one of these units.
Dude wow, would you do this for someone? I can pay!!!
I'd be interested as well, however if he's not in the states it would be a wash for my projects. If he is in the states, I'd really have to ponder and get some pricing if he is available for outside work. Also are AM3 / AM4 and FM2 sockets the same, they just have a layer of plastic on top with the lever that pops out, got 2 boards I feel need this (AM4 socket repair). Again, awesome work, my nerves would be shot for a week doing 1 of these. lol This would have been a 2 week process for me... lol And the result would be... Oh no, all that and it doesn't work, did I do it wrong or is there other issues with the board!!!
@@dayglorange it can still break regardless, there are contacts inside the am4 socket and it can break if you reinsert the CPU alot, although it's pretty rare.
Pretty cool man. It's nice to know you can replace a broken socket on a motherboard. I'd imagine bending or breaking pins on your motherboard is a very frustrating thing.
Yeah, it doesnt work with no microscope etc, I mean I have a b450 tomahawk max, It turns on without a cpu but doesnt turn on with a cpu, so it's a socket issue obviously, It doesnt mind the cpu but as you lock in the cpu it shutdowns or doesnt even start, a 150-200$ motherboard became scrap.
Awesome. Fantastic work!
---- What problems can be produced by a broken pin? ---
--The pc can still work perfectly with some Blue Screen of Death?
--Or just it doesn´t turn on?
--A broken pin can raise the motherboard temperature impacting in the Ram temperature?
I know that it depends of which pin is broken but i don´t know a lot about replacing cpu sockets
Mostly cc error code on ram slots
I have an 1151 board with 1 broken pin rendering both PCIE x16 slots useless but the 2 PCIE 4x slots work fine as does everything else.
Well done

Excellent video, In god we trust, you're great man . Many thanks for your video !
Fantastic video! You gained a new sub! Where can I find one for those motherboard heating stations?
Finally someone who actually shows the results... or is that a different board?
You could add 20 bucks and get a new board, this fixes are not for everyone, thus they don’t help the majority on here.. very amazing stuff
just because the motherboard boots up it doesnt really mean the mobo is A OK, some pins go to memory channels, others go to the pcie bus, others go to the north bridge etc etc. until you test all those features you shouldnt claim that the board is okay. Other than that this was really entertaining thank you!
