- I just like to share knowledge.
Maybe I could have done things better, maybe not.
When you like this video, please give me a thumbs up.
I know, I used too much thermal compound, nowadays using much less. Please do not comment on that, because I already know.
great video no stupid music playing in the background

I do not have any PS3's I am trying to fix or anything.. but I just wanted you to know that I appreciate the time and detail you put into this. I do a couple DIY documents myself and I know this can be tedious.
Great job!
Thanks, maybe I am going to make more video's soon.

@@reballtv no one understands your crap
This is the most satisfied video I saw so far man keep doing your work with this quality every step was 100% right and please don't care about this bad comment from other people's about how much thermo you should apply with PS3 special this fat model you need to apply alot of amounts because the size of CPU &GPU heatsink. Nice job I really like it
I love seeing fellow reballers work. I've done business with this guy buying products and always been great. I've been reballing for about 6 yrs now and I can say this is a great job. Keep going, Pro !!
Do you yourself offer reballing services? If so, I'd like to hit you up and sort something out.
@@JumpSuitAscended Did you get it sorted out?
What would you charge for this and a full cleaning on a Japanese slim?
that moment when you thought it was gonna be a paper towel and isopropyl alcohol tutorial -_-
Kudos!!!! Awesome precision in all the work! Thanks for sharing. All the best to you for the future.
Wow when you have correct tools and the skills how simple it looks.
Fantastic and a perfect job 👍
The sounds on this video are pure ASMR!

This helped me sleeping well once and here am I again to see what was really happening here
Yeah, but the parts that were desynced from the video are killing me
Raven yeah lol
Out of sync though...
This is your daily dose of Recommendation
How to fix Yellow LED of death, GPU reballing.
That was a myth that the gpu solder balls were cracked and therefore caused the YLOD. The problem was not the GPU but the capacitors which were very poorly made, Once you replace these it will fix your YLOD.
@@itza8334 everyone just kinda jumped on "solderballs bad" granted over time now its more evident what went wrong. Aye
@@itza8334 its very rare the rsx solder balls break, but on launch units the rsx was constantly failing due to sony's stupid idea to keep the system quiet rather than cool. The rsx just heats up and kills itself while the fan thinks its fine to run at 80c
Fernanfloo eres tu?
Mr Boombastic Any recommended guide or video?
As an addition to the very neatly performed/documented repair, this video is so relaxing to watch :)). 😉😊
Very very nice repairing, clean, beautiful, gentle, careful and totally real professional, god bless you, i wish i could give my fat PS3 to you for repair and services
Bugger me..It works..Considering I bought a ps3 off ebay for £3.00 (condition not working) I think I did well.Excellent video straight to the point.Have a like and subscribe mate.!!
Hey so did you use the method shown here? Also it says your comment is from two years ago. Is your PS3 still functioning?
@@shanetoumey2835 yes it is working
Shane Toumey it is only working method. It is Basically the same process that dyes undergo while manufacturing.
the best video about console reballing !!! The master-hand is perfect
It’s amazing how this could be done and how well you do it! wow!
Awesome video. Excellent example of Patience and professional work
Ultimate effort. No extra sound. Only well shown all the process
Damn I would trust him if he had a shop fixing consoles
Ugh, this thing looks like a nightmare to tear down.
It is, put the mobo in the oven tho fixed it and then sold it to a shop to get a new one, they were none the wiser 😂
It actually isn’t. I took my apart a few times back when I had one.
It's a bit tricky. Not too bad, but I remember being a bit lost when I first took one apart.
@@qharperharper don’t take the ps5 apart you might blow up 😅
not realy
First off amazing work, you are truly talented. God the fortune I would pay to do this to my 3 original PS3's. Just need to hope the YLOD doesn't come anytime soon
This video is kind of relaxing and satisfying, very professional work, didnt expect less from dutch people they really are good at this kind of thing, I lived in den haag for a year and was amazed very nice country, great education , many technological marvels going on there, and the coffeshops well what can i say I Had a great time over there.
Very nice to hear, made me smile :-) Where are you from originally ?
ProConsoles im from México I live in the Maya Riviera :p
Why is this so satisfying and relaxing to watch
it isnt
Awesome video, I spent every second viewing it over and over, I would like to ask if you don't mind, what's the brand and model of the rework station you using in this video? I really liked it. Keep it up.
Great work! it was a pleasure to watch!
すごい丁寧で完璧な修理でした！
2015年時点でもペイするのか心配になるくらい。
Could be easy when you have the correct tools and skill!! Great video!!
If only ps3s didn't have intigrated heat spreaders, with low quality thermal paste under them. And bad NEC/TOKIN capacitors, Many more would have been alive today... RIP lol.
Now the PS5 has liquid metal
@@DSCKottawa nah brah that'll be fine LOL
my ps3 slim is still alive and it is cfw capable but ive installed hfw instead because i dont wanna mess up my console, i set my fan at 43% the temps are 60°c ( cpu ) and 64°c ( gpu ) while playing the last of us
I found it amazing, Thanks for posting
Thanks for sharing, congratulations, fantastic work and good idea to show step by step, awesome
Who's here after the PS5 teardown video ?
I'm so glad companies are making things easier to take apart now.
@@tekgeekster mee😂
More like a laptop tear down.
I was curious to know what is inside the other consoles
Not me
Bravo this was a pleasure to watch! This is an ART! However, doing this is NOT worth all this effort! Spectacular job never the less!
Not worth the effort? Whatever do you mean?
Like a '87 firebird i guess.
It actually is. Kinda like people restore old cars. Yes, they may not be as advanced as today's cars, but they have sentimental value.
Great video, thank you for sharing!
Awesome video, I really appreciate it.
Amazing to watch this video, sad to see I would not be able to this myself, amazing again to see the PS3 language is in Dutch, and to find out in the comments you are indeed also a dutchie!
I don't think PS3 is worth it anymore to put in this much effort/time/material to fix them, but damn 💙 you have my respect
they are worth repairing as it had some exclusive games, which the ps4 cant play because sony made a balls of it with no backwards compatability
@@davidwhitley5659 letting someone else fix this would be too much for a casual gamer as myself. But the video is still amazing
i have a good lot of good ps3 games and don't like the industry is going, so i sent my ps3 for reballing, i value more give him a extended life then throw money at unfinished and microtransaction pestered games.
Well… now that I know how it’s supposed to be done… let’s see if I can half do it.. because I know I can’t do that.
10/10 excellent work without any music in background
I learned a lot with the wonderful procedure.
Great video!
Tip: you can make a similar video in less time if you record the process of breaking a PS3 and then reverse the video!
no complaints, love to have my ps3 done. hint hint, your work looks great, like to have whole game gone thought,jailbroke/modded/
I got 3 Jailbroken slims that I bought to mod and resell then never posted them Lol
es un técnico muy bueno para estas reparaciones lo felicito
Very nice work bro.liked it so much... Again say great job done....
GREAT VIDEO MAN, I LOVE THIS KINDA STUFF, only the beeping was TO loud lmao but ya man GREAT JOB
Wish I could send my ps3 to you sir for a fix up. Excellent work on that one though.

excellent work,
I have a question, what is the soldering iron you use? the brand or a reference
thank you
14:35 is so satisfying even tho I don't know wtf is going on
He's cleaning or flattening the chip connectors by removing the left over lead. Necessary before re-balling.
Very Nice work, my respect! Thats the way i like to see that all, Nice and Clean, all great, just the Thermal Coumpond was to much, and the IHS you could replace it next time first on the Cooler it self :) Best Regards
+UltraNSC Yes, I know about the amount of thermal compound and I use much less nowadays. What do you mean exactly with "IHS you could replace it next time first on the Cooler it self" ? Also after I have removed the IHS from CPU and GPU, I dry the motherboard for 4 hours at 100C to get rid of most of the moisture in the motherboard. Want to buy the Ecocell 55, but still pretty expensive.
I do see, that nowadays I do so many things differently and better, especially when cleaning the motherboard with desoldering bread. I only move in 1 direction and much smoother then in the video. Need to make a new one soon.....
When you have done a lot of reballs, the focus is always at which tasks can go wrong, which task has the biggest influence on the end result.
What can go wrong :
- When lifting the chip you do not want to damage the GPU, so my profile is totally focussed on keeping the temperature of the RAM chips as low as possible. Right now I am in a very safe area of lifting the GPU. Chance of damaging it when lifting it, is right now maybe 1% maximally. Maybe it is in practise much lower.
- When cleaning the motherboard, you do not want to lift pads or damage the green solder mask. From experience I can tell that the first pads to lift, are the support pads with no connection. Nowadays the change on lifting critical pads is maybe also much lower then 1%, maybe in practise 1 out of 500.
When green solder mask is damaged, I simply repair that with green UV solder mask.
Key succes to a very good reball when soldering back the GPU is:
- high quality solder balls, leaded eutectic with a melting point of 183.3C
- right TAL time and temperature (215C and 20-40 seconds)
- right amount gel flux (Amtech 559, the original one). 95% on the market is fake !
- activating time of flux which is long enough
- preaheating time of board which is long enough
- experience (I believe I have more then 5 years of ps3 reballing experience)
Hi, sorry for not replying earlier, it was a long time ago that you responded to me, and 1 thing I would like to comment on. You said : "the IHS you could replace it next time first on the Cooler it self". Yesterday I did that for the first time, and actually that is not the best way. I measured a temperature on the GPU and CPU, which is then 2C and 4C higher. I think this is because the cores of the chips is about 1/4th of the size of the IHS, and it is more important that the layer of thermal compound, is as thin as possible between the cores of the chips, and the IHS. For this test, I used MX-4 for all 4 locations. So conclusion: It is best to put the IHS on the chips first, and not first on the cooler itself.
Ok but what heat profile would some use if they were using an air gun and a preheating table to recall a ps3 or 4 that has never been reworked before? Some people tell me 100C for as much as an hour, my cousin told me 100-115 C for 20 minutes then start the air gun at 250 C until I can nudge it. I've tried bolth more than one and I can stop pulling pads even when I do get the chip to lift. What I'm asking what times temps should I use to lift these chips right? Bare in mind I only have a cheap air gun. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UltraNS
I recommend never to use a hot air gun (paint stripper) because you do not have a lot of control of the temperature, coming out the nozzle. It is very important that you also use thermocouples to measure the temperatures.
professional repairing job ,salute.
Excellent work, congratulations.
PS3 had great hardware packed together.. marvel of engineering
Hench the dying PS3s. Nothing great about a bad design or manufacturer.
Its design was terrible. It looked horrible and the ram held it back. There were many many games that came out with lots of problems that weren't present on pc or Xbox. There's a whole documentary about the ram and how it really did hold it back and Xbox used a different style of ram which made it super easy for developers to make games.
Xbox 360 is more powerful than that...
@@danielcpierrem hahahaha yeah ok shitboxer
@@packlesswolf1 RAM is faster and has more bandwidth than the Xbox360. That one needed the edram to offset the bottleneck of unified RAM, only 128 bit for both CPU and GPU.
I wish Sony still produced PS3s. I want a brand new one :
Same but with PS2
Rip PS3 2006-2017
Brilliant work, and thumbs up :)
excelente video brother sos un crack
With all the tools and time invested, three ps3’s could be purchased; well that’s the mindset in the western side of the world. Good tutorial👌
That has nothing to do with the mindset of the western side of the world. That is the mindset of actually everybody, who has a limited amount of money.
ProConsoles The Netherlands I’m one of those that would fix anything because certain items merit the repair. But some folks prefer to trash anything to avoid a repair and the individuals that collect those items turn it around and make some money, and it’s all good. I’ve benefited from that mindset but in my opinion, it’s common just to trash and move on.
As far of your skills to repair, I am no match nor hate what you try to do because I am on your side.✌️
This is so far beyond my skill level
its far beyond his skill level too lol no way he got that on square a machine does that with a laser and it cant be done by a human
@@thedevil5544 well you would know

Thanks for showing us your knowledge
I still can’t believe this thing cost $600 lmao 😂 also any remember MAG Game? It was 100 players online shooter ! Good old days !
Actually 256 players online you are short 156 players get your comments straight before you post them cause you don’t know what you are talking about 😂
@@FredEFuego 😂😂😂 SHUT THE FAWK UP 😂😂😂
$600 for what it can still do was worth it to this day you can play PS1/2/3, blu ray movies ,some streaming apps still works & free online
that ps2 chip had alot to do with the $600 price, and now that the architecture has changed from the ps4/ps5 being strictly PC based, the original ps3 is a grail
$774.96 today (2020) if you account for inflation. Still worth it.
NEC/Tokins!!! Every time it's rarely ever the RSX or CELL
@aialol aiolol yeah I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 in my collection (two but only one has the tokin) and its still alive
@aialol aiolol I own a fat and a slim and surprisingly the fat runs great but the slim is dead
Very placeful video, and very instructive.
Idk wtf u doin but just the skill alone had me like and subscribe
12:52 i remember back from metal shop my instructor would always yell...DON'T FORGET THE FLUCKS (flux) XD. One of the rare few high school teachers i liked :). Most of them were so crazy and annoying.
+Hi im Ish I also liked the more passionate teachers.
+ProConsoles Yeah, he was very passionate :). A bit too passionate for wielding though. We would fireup the torches and bring in the acetylene-oxygen. As you may imagine the resulting blue flame is EXTREMELY hot. Sometimes our project were dictated by very small tolerances so my hands were typically positioned very close to the flaming hot neck of the torch to restrict vibration or movement. It sure was scary. I should add our coveralls were all flammable lol. You have to get it within the tolerance or else he voids the project...
I hope I’m not the only one who feels overwhelmed
Nice video, really appreciate the clean work! Can you share what temperature you use to lift he ihs from the cell please? Thanks!
parabéns muito proficional!!!boa tarde e fica com DEUS!!
What type soldering station and tips your using ?
Hi friend, SMT whole line equipments are all available by us, are you interested in that?(pick and place machine, AOI, reflow machine, Loader and unloader etc. )
Great job, Any details on tools used, thermal compound, flux etc., used . Brand name will help. Also, what is the strip that you are using @14:42. and the translucent paste you have used..
It's called "Solder Wick" lol. Although I am sure you figured that out 2 years later

Hello, which soldering iron do you use? Do you have an iron bond and wide purlin?
It is like asmr just watching it annoys me with the delay in audio.

Hey Holland,
Any chance you could show us replacing the nec-token capacitors with tantalum capacitors.
Pretty much a guaranteed fix for YLOD.
That would never fix a ylod. UPDATE : In the meanwhile I discovered that replacing NEC Tokins, also fixes an YLOD :-) I learned.

And thermal paste? Mine is more grey, not as white.
Superb, excelent job
Damn pretty awesome that you made this ps3 baller again all it needs is some chains.
Why is this recommended to me in 2020?

If that was release back then, maybe I'd have a chance at fixing my ps3.. Still thanks for the vid!
I still hav my PS3 in 2020
again, as a learner, please share knowledge on temperature setting for hot air? Preheat? Temperature probe to what max temp? What flux do you use?
I back getting some tips and answers please

Very Good, Great craftsmanship..
Hi, at 14:20 what is the name of that mop like tool which you use to heat the solder braid with?
Seems to have multiple names, but the most common name seems to be a (flat) blade tip/cartridge
@@XoleumYT What about that metal block that goes over the ship, what is it? And can i do a reball without that piece of machinery-I mean with just a reballing station?
@@thingshappen9199 I'm guessing you're referring to the BGA chip stencil, that's used to position the balls correctly. You could reball without it but that would be very time consuming and prone to causing solder bridges.
@@XoleumYT no, look at 11:20 it beeps at some points and has the Japanese text engravings.
@@thingshappen9199 Oh, I think that's just part of the BGA rework station, it's used for heating it up and melting the solder, there is often another heating it from the bottom.
Some rework station also use something similar to position the chip correctly and hold it in place, if you search for "linus reballing" here on youtube, you'll see one of those in action.
you have to reflow this chip with the same result, its like amd gpu where the problem is between crystal and body of chip, just reflow it with flux to 215 degree. p.s. secret from russia
Very delicate work... Nice
I like your agility hands , you know how to work great
Very accurate
Thanks!
HI you use a lot of components (alcohol, flux, wire and braided wire) can you please tell what you use exactly in which moment. Will be nice if you could write time and the component. Thank you.
that wire is made of tin
Great video - but we now know that PS3 YLOD is caused by the NEC/TOKIN caps sitting right next to the GPU... and the heat from rework GPU causes them to work for a bit longer.
Btw what is that solder flux you use for removing the RSX? I'm trying to find in ages lol
What is the device called that you put in the motherboard to keep it flat called? I can only find motherboard holders for small boards for portable consoles and such, but I'd like to attempt this myself but I want to be sure I have the right equipment.
Nice! What do people usually charge for this kind of repair?
There's a company here in the UK that does this for around £70, which isn't actually that bad considering everything that's involved.

What soldering iron and soldering iron tip did you use with the solder wick to clean up the pads?
hello thanks for the video, what type of screw driver did you use for the blue screw? i tried mine and have stripped the screw :(
what are the temperatures that you use at what temperature should the video chip arrive to be able to lift it without being damaged, what temperature do you use to put the chip back?
Dont do it try heating your gpu to 120 for 5 min if this dosent work reballing is a waste of time
Is it just me or is the audio delayed by like a second or two?
I noticed too :D
