Im always surprised this isnt done more by the board partners more, they have the ability to pretty much do this with automation yet they dont. Would save so much on e-waste
They do offer this service I believe - think back to that Gamers Nexus dead motherboard scandal which was sent back to newegg when they declined the OEM repair
For those that think this job is simple, it is not! You make things look easy, but this is because you have got the right, specialist equipment, and you have the knowledge and experience to use the equipment. So, while I like to encourage people to have a go at something like this, it is important to note that it takes time to acquire the necessary skills - even with the very best equipment.
I briefly worked at a place where I guess some of the previous employees thought they could do component level repair, but without any actual experience. What ended up happening was a lot of computers laying around, unfixed and pissed of customers wanting to know what the hell was going on. If you're interested in learning how to do this, great! But for the love of god learn on your own equipment or see if people will donate you their old broken stuff so you can fail without consequence.
You're probably the only other guy I've seen on RUclips do this. Could've saved me a lot of days of misery If I knew about someone like you when my H55 Mobo died like 12 years ago. :)
I love your channel because you just do it, others think it is to hard or to much heat heck what can go wrong right? It wasn't working when it came in so what ever I do I can not break it worse...
it had never occured to me that the cpu socket would be soldered like the gpu core. with everyone saying how a broken pin is a death sentence for a motherboard, i expected the pins to somehow be permanently fixed to the board. if fixing boards is this easy, it should really be done more often, it would save so much on e waste. and now with amd boards being lga aswell, it is pretty much twice as likely that sockets will get damaged
Hey Northwestrepair, I find your videos very entertaining and also informative at the same time. Now I wanted to ask what temperature and what percentage airflow you use in the process of socket disassembly. Would look forward to hearing back from you 😄
Cool video thanks so much I have an asus prime z390-a it has a whole bunch of bent pins in a few different areas so I don’t think it’s possible to straighten them and even looks like someone got some solder in the socket. Somehow I can’t really tell exactly what it is but anyways I don’t have a warming tray. I only have a hot air station. Is it possible to do this with just a hot air station? by the time I bought a warming tray I might as well just buy a new motherboard at that point but since this will be garbage if I can’t do the repair, do you think it’s something that I might be able to do with just a hot air station? And what would you recommend? I put the I don’t see any points on the bottom of the motherboard where the socket comes all the way through so I was hoping that the bottom tray would not be totally necessary. Maybe I could just warm it up with the hot air station at a lower setting for a couple minutes then switch back to the top and turn up the heat. Do you think that’s possible? I don’t even know anybody who does this kind of work in New Jersey so I pretty much think it’s I give it a shot and if it breaks it breaks. I found people that will do a repair but they want $100 to do it. That’s more than half the cost of the board. So what do you think I should do?
How do you not have more subscribers? I watch people on here if there’s a crack in the board, they already deem it a no fix and move on a bent pin No fix move on. You… I can fix that.
great video, I need to do this on a X670 board. I understand the 100-150C for underheat, but how high of a overheat temp did you set yours on? I don't want to melt or damage the plastic socket.
Didn't even know you could replace the CPU socket or that people still buy older gen damaged motherboards, would have given you a MSI z270 board for free, Had got one in 2017 with bent cpu socket pins from the manufacturer / retailer and they shipped another one free of cost without taking back the defective board.
I was told you don't really want to mix leaded and lead-free solder, something about the result not hardening right. Is that only for mixing new and old solder in the same joint, and since you discard everything you clean off the board it's fine in this case?
0:30 You didn't warm up the whole mainboard, but you didn't get banana / bow effect, which is often when you heat only small part of the board (especially that heavy part around cpu with coils and radiators) Your socket sit down straight without any valley in the middle. How you accomplished that?
I tried a cpu socket repair. Got too excited and pulled up too soon. Pulled a few board pads off on the top left corner. Think you could get the pads back on, and the socket?
Hello, I have a question... I want to buy a 6700 xt. The question is... from what producer?. I was thinking to buy it from Gigabyte with 3 fans. But I don't really know what to choose.
@@northwestrepair Yes, but I can find atm on the market only the mech version "MSI RX 6700 XT MECH", I can't find anymore in my country "MSI Radeon RX 6700 XT GAMING X TRIO". I'm afraid abit because the Mech variant has only 2 fans, and you know the problem with the AMD cards.. the heating. Even that I find a TRIO variant, is overpriced, is double the price of the Mech one here. o_o. What do you think I should do in this case? Honestly I was thinking to buy MSI aswel. I think I'm gonna go with the Mech, it is what it is. Even better, I found a Mech variant which is RX 6750 XT with a $10 in plus over the 6700 XT. But as you already now TRIO > MECH.
My PS4 does not want to read disc can you fix? I live in Lakebay wa I don't like downloading apps on my phone but if you can fix it I'll do it to contact
One of the reasons why I cringe when I see people put layers of kapton tape on things to protect it from heat. It doesn't work, most of the time they end up de-soldering / melting the things they were trying to protect. Get some damn aluminium foil or something. But as always, great video.
We don't use sticky alu foil because they don't make one that doesn't have a nasty adhesive that reacts poorly to the temperatures involved. It can be stuck down with kapton from the top with backing still in tact but it's a mess, it begins to warp. During a proper heat cycle it's rare you'll see a problem with another component.
@@FrozenHaxor never said sticky foil :) just build a heat shield from the large rolls you wrap your sandwiches up in or make hats to hide from the government.
@@salmon85 Tried that before, stations blow them away, we use them only on edges where you can form them so that they "clamp on". Over-insulating the board during BGA rework actually hinders the progress and you have to manually override the preset during the cycle because it heats up slower, so you end up exposing components to a longer heat cycle in the end.

I think they don’t give a “f flying pan” on changing the sockets :))

Board makers do offer this service. It's about $25 US. I've had numerous boards repaired by the original manufacturer.
@@MarcoGPUtuber oh really! thats quite cool and handy to know : )
@@Steven-nv3hz Yes, I took @Tech YES City to two manufacturers to get GPUs repaired.
I really want to know who dislikes my videos.
Northridgefix, is that you ?
Good one! Nah, he is too busy complaining about his customers for sending in stuff that takes more than 3 minutes to fix.
Probably some of the manufacturers you have mentioned before 😊
Not me im supporting by subscribing
There's no gore warning. I wasn't prepared to see bent socket pins.
Hey there, what exactly did you use to remove the leftover solder so easily after you removed the socket? :)

And you make it seem impossible, just say it's not something a beginner can do right away.
We need more repair guys like you sir. The repairs are astonishing ❤🤟🤟
you should keep up the format of explaining your work instead of speeding through it. Great video and knowledge as always
This was fantastic. Well done.
Thank you! Cheers!
@northwestrepair is a monster of repairing things. Every video blows my mind.
Good video, good technician, fast and straight to the point
It was interesting process to get know about socket replacement!
Thanks for the video!
1:26 thanks to this video, i now know what happens when too much heat gets a capacitor 👍
You're probably the only other guy I've seen on RUclips do this. Could've saved me a lot of days of misery If I knew about someone like you when my H55 Mobo died like 12 years ago. :)
Wow I just seeing this but it just fascinating to me to watch a repair be so simple,Hopefully I can get there by completion of my degree!
I love your channel because you just do it, others think it is to hard or to much heat heck what can go wrong right? It wasn't working when it came in so what ever I do I can not break it worse...
I would never believe such a repair was possible, but now I've seen it happen.
it had never occured to me that the cpu socket would be soldered like the gpu core.
with everyone saying how a broken pin is a death sentence for a motherboard, i expected the pins to somehow be permanently fixed to the board.
if fixing boards is this easy, it should really be done more often, it would save so much on e waste. and now with amd boards being lga aswell, it is pretty much twice as likely that sockets will get damaged
Especially considering you can get a whole new LGA socket for like $5
how are they supposed to sell new boards if they fix all the old ones. Kinda like PSU cables being pinned to the manufacturers specs.
Wow! I never thought it was possible and worth it to replace a CPU socket. You're incredible! 👍
Nice, I like how you explain.
we sure learned something today 😄
for example how to pop up solid caps
Great video as always
Hey Northwestrepair, I find your videos very entertaining and also informative at the same time.

Would look forward to hearing back from you 😄
200 bottom.
Top 300 ar the tip. Max air flow
@@northwestrepair Wow, thank!
Next time I will try it my self, I have around 10 broken motherboards with broken pins sitting in my workshop 🤓✌🏻
@@northwestrepairCelcius right?
@@tafadzwamusekiwa659yes Celsius. Most everything done with electronic components, especially computer stuff, uses C.
Love your videos.. thank you...

looks great
Good video. Can you share your PCB temp and top hot air temp? And did your motherboard bend?
Bottom 200
Top 400 but usinga nozzle it's no more then 300 at the end.
No bending.
Thanks. I can see you used large preheater that distributes heat evenly.
I was told you don't really want to mix leaded and lead-free solder, something about the result not hardening right. Is that only for mixing new and old solder in the same joint, and since you discard everything you clean off the board it's fine in this case?
It's only for ease of cleaning and tinning pads.
Nice job ly friend, could you please list the brand and name if the rework station used. Thanks
*This is hard work*
the tape and metal shielding is very silly. im surprised nobody has learned to use play dough yet.... or clay
nice work
changing the cpu socket? I didn't think it was even possible. I have a B760 board for ya
Very nice
0:30 You didn't warm up the whole mainboard, but you didn't get banana / bow effect, which is often when you heat only small part of the board (especially that heavy part around cpu with coils and radiators)
Your socket sit down straight without any valley in the middle. How you accomplished that?
Slow heating.
Flat bottom.
What's the name of the component you put in gpu socket? Think that was for reading code diagnostic. What is the name of that item
How, exactly, do you align the new socket perfectly if there are no physical location points? By eye and touch to the screen printing?
Hi, what is the name of the machine you are using for heating ?
I tried a cpu socket repair. Got too excited and pulled up too soon. Pulled a few board pads off on the top left corner. Think you could get the pads back on, and the socket?
U can contact me on discord.
@@northwestrepair how do I find you?
What are the tools you used for this replacement?
Hey there, how much heat for the removal?

What was the temp used to desolder the socket?
Is there solder already on the socket?
so i cant do this with my harbor freight heat gun????
noice
What is that PCIe card doing what you used on the end for testing?
Shows voltage.
This card is not suitable for this board. It will not get post codes
Please make your video 10-20 minutes long.. I want to watch more..
♥️
Can you replace the Lga1700 socket as well?
I can try. Why not.
I might have to buy or make special nozzle for it depending on how big it is.
How did the socket plastic not melt?
Composite.

I dont know, i never touched PS4 to be honest.
Wont hurt to try one day.
It sound like a mechanical issue rather then anything wrong with the board.
@@northwestrepair I'll bring it by today
Extreme gore warning
What post code reader are you using?
Some old cheap. Don't know.
I don't use it anymore since it only works on PCI
@@northwestrepair oh okay
If I send you a board can you do this for me?
Is there anything this man can't do?
many things
That's really bad-ass, but I guess it would be completely uneconomical for an old board like that if you didn't do it for yourself.
wow
Pop 🍿
Some of those pins are ground and the socket should still work if it's missing one.

Having picture is not necessarily a measure of success, one of the DIMMs may not work, or a PCI lane.
well I learned rossman group is full of shit about CPU socket replacement being "impossible". does that count?
