I'm very very impressed by your ability to do this by hand.. I'm the same, where I want to do it by hand and I'm so glad I found this video. It gives me the courage to give it a go. ✌️
Just wanted to say thanks for putting this video out, I had tried to reball a chip by hand and absolutely failed miserably ... I watched your video, tried again using your techniques, and was able to successfully reball the chip (XilinX Spartan3) on the first try. Excellent tutorial!
Hi again other great video and thanks again mark just one question I have got three Xbox one x boards and I am recovering as MENY components as possible on the diode pack which I think is made of glass how hot can I go with the temperature to remove these safely to use again thanks
What does the letters and numbers...specifically pertaining to the vram fbga modules ddr5 ones...the ones i need are labeled T2C and 147A...what do they mean? I need 16 of them for my gpu..
Hello, I'm reballing a GTX 1060 6GB GPU by hand and I have 2 questions, since I managed to break 2 pads in the PCB. I used the Tester and noticed that these pads goes nowhere, I mean, they literally die after in the PCB and don't have any other contact. 1.- Are all GPU pads necessary? or coul be that these pads are meant for Chip support only? 2.- Do I need all the balls to be the same exact size?
@@TheCod3r Thanks! I thought that with enough flux the ball from the paste automaticly connecting the soldier point on the chip. When the soldier paste is heated. So without a stencil that still works in some cases. I would like to know why this is or is not recommended. This to get some insights.
Just a quick follow up to my last comment ... the reason I had an oops moment was because the first reflow I attempted I used only about 200 C IR from below and maybe about 430C from above with hotair (no nozzle ) and the chip never even moved with gentle nudging and of course it still didn't fix the issue for reflowing gpu's. So I went hell bent for leather and did like around 250C IR below preheat and the full 480C without a nozzle for probably too much time and YEP ... the chip moved alright ... by accident ... so I had no choice but to pull it off and now I have a reball job but wondering if it's worth the time since all the power was good and still no display ... also the resistance on the gpu power rail was good as well so it LOOKED like the gpu was fine so it might still be ok even tho I more than likely stressed the hell out of it with too much heat.
Might be late response, but most of the time you see people use ur temps but in the opposite way. Well never above 360 degrees Celsius. I use 290 on my preheater and 230 on my top heater . I use a ir6000 by achi. Slow ramping, u need of course figure out you own profile, but i never end process under 8 minutes
Hi I have a ps4 pro with some weird version of the blue light of death. For most people every time they press the power button the ps4 switches itself off or flashes blue forever but mine is different The first time I press the power button: there is a beep and a light but then there is what sounds like a small spark and it switches off. The second time: there is just a beep and no light The third time: nothing happens. And then it goes back to light with a beep, just a beep and then nothing. It’s like a cycle. Anyone have any suggestions??? I can update the comment with a video if you want
Hi bud. That sounds like a power failure, either because of a bad power supply or some other power related issue on the board itself. The power supply is fairly simple to replace yourself but if you don't feel comfortable doing it you're more than welcome to get in touch and I can organise a repair for you
TheCod3r I open up things all the time so that’s not a problem but I don’t want to order a new power supply if that’s not the issue. Could I send it to you and maybe you could diagnose the issue?
The young lad who owns these gpu cards said that most of them were being used for crypto-mining so they were running 24/7 for ever, meaning ... so it's likely the gpu's got far too hot which is why they fail due to solder connections melting and failing. When they finally cool down if at all they go cold possibly. Just a thought ... even gamers can run their cards to bad temps and get the same results. I have heard of gamers who literally die sitting at their computers due to what ? Lack of sleep maybe ? or maybe starvation ? ... but more than likely LACK of INTELLIGENCE and self control/disipline ... maybe they should be taking up Aikido ?
Because sometimes you get stuck without a stencil, for example my ps4 apu stencil has recently gotten damaged and I'm left without a stencil until new ones arrive :)
@@TheCod3r Ya and I just looked AMD gpu stencils at Ali and came up empty and after looking at this gpu ... a universal wouldn't work cuz not all the grid balls are in a straight line ... some zigs and zags on some of the grid lines.
Lol it really isn't click bait mate, that exact image was auto generated by youtube, the exact image is in the video being used as an example. I don't use click bait titles lol
@@aqib2000 not really, it was either this one, an out of focus microscope view or an image of an empty reballing jig. Either that or create one which i don't generally have time to do
@@aqib2000 I can do, but it might take a few weeks because I just don't get time to do that in a single shot, but I'm up for the challenge 😂 I was actually planning a full apu swap video just because it's never been done in a video lol
Thanks very much for this technique, just completed two 100 ball chips 100% successfully 😊
I'm very very impressed by your ability to do this by hand.. I'm the same, where I want to do it by hand and I'm so glad I found this video. It gives me the courage to give it a go. ✌️
Ok, I’m definitely going to give this a go with a 2DS XL ram chip I effed up when trying to reflow 😂 Thanks for the tips!

Super video friend, I'm new on this, I found your video so well explained and will practicing on this reballing world, thanks for sharing!
Would love to see a video on restoring pads
man, what a patience, thanks for sharing. stencils seem a lot easier. got a good tip for the solder paste needed for that? thank you
What do you call that guide? The metal guide?
Thank you and looking forward to your kind response.
Hi again other great video and thanks again mark just one question I have got three Xbox one x boards and I am recovering as MENY components as possible on the diode pack which I think is made of glass how hot can I go with the temperature to remove these safely to use again thanks
helpfull master ,
but please share the link of stencil and holder of stencil
Have you ever reballed a laptop southbridge?
Hi I have atten hot air station but can find bent nozzles ,have you a link so i can buy some
Might have to do this with a performance-oriented laptop chipset (the CPU I can easily get stencils for) at some point.
Would the same concept work with a Nintendo switch apu?
Everyone take a shot when Philip says Balls!
Very good job 👍
great video
Hi great videos- Do you have a link to where you get your universal stencils from thanks
Thanks this is really helpful.
What does the letters and numbers...specifically pertaining to the vram fbga modules ddr5 ones...the ones i need are labeled T2C and 147A...what do they mean? I need 16 of them for my gpu..
I've been watching to this to learn bga reballing, ps4 apu, southbridge are bga
Thank you so much.
Thank you for showing us.
You're welcome 😊
Hi were can I buy the lead uv mask ? Thanks
You can get it on ali express / ebay it's readily available
How would I find the ball size for an Xbox one x southbridge chip?

No
Why not use solder paste instead of solder balls? It seems for me a lot easier to reballing the chip. Am i missing something?
It is easier for some people but you'd need a stencil for that. If you dont have a stencil it has to be done with manual placement:)

@@arthurv4401 did you get an answer? I am thinking of reballing my ps4 but only have a soldering iron and a few hours of soldering under my belt.

great watch
Dont do this for a chip with 1000 pads :D trust me
Good video.
Flux is not just flux tho 😉
This is insane I only use stencils and solder paste on a preheater and a hot air gun
funny how I joined this dude's discord before I found his channel
Muito bom!

Really sucks when you don't have the right TOOLS !
Why bother when stencils are so cheap on Ali express ? Cool that you can do this though.
