Great home made reballing Station from scratch. The details and simplicity how to make one was comprehensive and doable. Thank you for sharing this and well done.
I've watched nearly all your videos now, and just wanted to say thank you- the way you present everything is exactly what I was looking for in a tutorial channel! Looking forward to watching your future uploads!
Although late, but I saw all three parts (the last one last night). Excellent work, very hard, mainly the mechanic. Built from start to finish and tested. A sincere congratulations. Thank you very much for sharing Jimmy. All the best.
Great explanation, thanks for all the teachings, now it's time to start ordering the necessary parts to build a rework station myself. Thanks for everything.
Very cool & instructive stuff in here.. i'm subscribing immediately ❤ I was wondering how to protect all the smd capacitors ..memory chips & all components at the back of the pcb of nowadays graphic cards.. there is a bunch of them made like that. the components will be facing lower heater.
Hi, The bottom heater can be set to max 200 degrees. 200 or better 180 degrees with unleaded solder is safe to use as solder won't liquefy. I also add aluminum adhesive tape to delicate components that are located under the PCB board and are exposed the bottom heater. Gr. Jim
Thank you for your informative video's! I' ve been planning to make a bga rework machine for a while and finally started building one. I tried to power it on today and I noticed that the bottom heater was not working. After further investigation I saw that pins 4 and 5 (+ and -) on the PC100 where swapped in your drawing. Or maybe I have another version of PC100 device. Anyway the bottomheater is working now.
Hi good to hear that it is working for you. There are a lot of not original PC100 devices, the one i used it not original maybe that is the problem always check the datasheet of the device. Thank you for watching. Gr. Jim
The HB parameter allows the user to set the difference tolerated between the current setpoint and the actual value while the program is running. If this difference is exceeded, the program generator halts itself in order for the process value to catch up with the program setpoint.
Hi, I have a purchased IR 6500 a long time ago, how would you proceed with the conversions to upgrade the existing station? I wanted to buy the holders for the K-Couplers, maybe also new bottom heater heating plates. Would you have a link to the plates? Is there anything else you would change? But first I would start with the step-by-step calibration. It's really great to see that you can build a station like this yourself. Greetings Tobi
Hi i totally forgot the add the bottom plates to the description this is the promo link: 🛒 Heating Ceramic Plate Heater 240x60mm 600W - s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_oFmpM2m Thank you for your feedback. Gr. Jim
Hi, for the Nintendo switch a small pre-heater and hotair is enough because the Nintendo Switch PCB boards are thin. To use this station would be overkill :) Gr. Jim
Hi then the board is not at that reflow temperature 235 with hotair usually give a much lower temperature on the board you have to rise the temp of the hotair to 350 a 400 degrees. With a IR rework station the temperature is more consistant with the temperature that you want. Key is measuring the board temperature. Gr. Jim

Great work with a custom built unit.
Thank you for watching. Gr. Jim

Hi nice to get some feedback :) indeed my intension was that with a small budget and some time anyone can build this rework station. Gr. Jim

Thanks for everything.
Take the time to test and inspect the wiring happy building leave a message if it is succesfull :) Gr. Jim
Bro du bist eine Maschine!
Danke, Gr. Jim

Can you make a video (or just add in your description) about the soldering products/equipment you use in general?
Hi thank you for the feedback for now i don't have plans to make such a video maybe in the future. Gr. Jim
Hey nice video very detailed will this work if you already have a t8280 preheater
Excellent video 🤩🤩🤩 I would love to see you make a video on a PS3 Frankenstein mod and share the bga profile settings.
Thank you for watching! I don't think i will make ps3 video but you never know :) Gr. Jim
hi thanks for the video what is the Hb setting ? what does it do?
The HB parameter allows the user to set the difference tolerated between the current setpoint and the actual value while the program is running. If this difference is exceeded, the program generator halts itself in order for the process value to catch up with the program setpoint.
Perfeito 👏👏👏👏

do you have plan to use it on nintendo switch im waiting :D

@@fixmyappjim do you have schematic for OLED backlight circuit??
Hello can you please tell the measurings of the case you used? I know its 46x43 but what depth?
Hi, The dimensions are: Height = 15cm, Length = 46cm and width - 43 cm. Good luck with building it. Let me know when it is ready. Gr. Jim
@fixmyappjim thank you very much for answering, I surely will!
Even at 235C I can’t get the BGA to flow. Trying to remove an RSX on a ps3.

Tbh 500$ seems a bit expensive, but nice job !
Hi thank you for watching, it can be cheaper it depends with parts you already have. Gr. Jim
