A good indicator to see if the socket was soldered properly you can check the data lines off the DDR chanels and also off the PCIE. I am sure you are familiar with the cheap testers, that are available from aliexpress, but hey work quiet fine!

You must do a very careful visual inspection around the CPU socket and on the back side of it for missing components (caps, resistors) or shorted ones. I do have very often such cases of knocked out components or others that were hit with screwdrivers and got shorted. Especially after the socket replacement and the high temperatures exposed for half an hour, a visual inspection is a must. Good job with the socket though.

[@blackhorserepairs]

it's a lot more than 30 minutes of high temperature exposure, first I have to remove the socket so that's 30 minutes there, then clean the pads so sometimes 45 minutes of high heat and corrosive flux, then half an hour for replacement.
So yeah, there's a lot of stuff that can go wrong, it's hot and the room becomes uninhabitable for at least an hour after the job is done. Considering those conditions I can well believe some technicians drop the socket or a screwdriver on the board. That's the whole reason I'm doing it in the first place, it's just plainly hard and time consuming. Challenging to do right and without any damage.

@@blackhorserepairs I was talking for the no CPU core condition. It could be as simple as a missing resistor or a shorted cap. I do often have accidents, especially with crowded bench or small space.

@@nikolaskallianiotis8622 yep, crowded bench especially, I think we all struggle with that :)

Hello🤝good job 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👋👋👋👋👋

Thanks for visiting

Even professional services with expensive IR BGA rework stations refuse this type of service. Large PCBs are very prone to bending or warping.
But good luck, practice makes perfect

[@blackhorserepairs]

good to hear, I might just specialize in this then, less competition :)

Not working too bad.
You must removing again socket and trying again.

[@blackhorserepairs]

oh, the socket is good, the reason it doesn't work is because there's no VCORE, but without boardview I can't really do much with it
