BMW CCC Repair

[@diaconuandrei1377]

2023 . You are a legend. I just did a reflow today on the unit and it fixed my totally non-responsive navigation. I broke the fiber socket but nothing that cannot be "solvered" with some silicone heat gun. The temperature I used was ~ 400 degrees Celsius as lower values would not make the flex to "popcorn". Special care must be taken for the components near the uC. I hope this hold for a couple of years but I will come back with this information (hopefully not) ! Thank you again !

I just got done trying my first round. Did all your chips make the popcorn sound or only certain ones? I only heard it once or twice out of the 6 or so chips. Do I need to go back and turn my temp up?

[@MrJeff629]

Dude you saved my life :-). The CCC in my E92 (2006) has the same layout. Before I did a try in the oven with around 150 °C without success, more than 20 °C outside forced the CCC into reboot loop again. Then I just followed your video. I used nearly the same SMD station and infrared thermometer but a different flux, all cheap stuff from Amazon. What can I say... after months and more than 30 °C outside in the last weeks... the CCC is still working perfectly. Great tutorial and video, thanks from Germany!

[@MrJeff629]

@@Andre-tc1wj I need to mention, that I tipped my flux-pencil into a screw cap of a plastic water bottle a few times to be able to get enough out of it and not pressing it onto the circuit board by hand. Then I used a small paint brush to get the flux onto the board, drop by drop. Worked great. I found the stuff you mentioned on Amazon. Though not available in my region, the reviews say it helped a lot of people im similar applications. I cannot give a definite answer towards this, but I guess it will do the same job as my flux did. BTW: My CCC is still working great, even during these hot summer days we have right now.

[@hdolanska804]

I felt i needed to let you know that i followed your instructions and it worked, my CCC radio is alive again, no more constant reboots. I am so pleased and great full that you taught me how to do this. I will remember your generosity for many years to come. Thank you I used... Soldering flux Liquid SMD/RMA No Clean RF800. Tilted the board and let the flux run through. Hot air paint stripping Heat Gun set to 400℃. Warmed the chip then up to 170℃. Infrared Thermometer Digital Temperature Gun.

Mister, like others here I'd like to thank you for taking the time to make that video. Thank you The first attempt for me was not a success but the second attempt worked!!! Here's what I did : -I used the same flux that you used in the video, ordered on amazon. I believe it's a important point here to remember. -BEFORE heating the board up, I tilted it so I could see the flux entering on one side and coming out on the other. -150 degree C max, constantly monitored with a laser thermometer. - I cleaned the fiber optic the rubbing alcohol, the right connector had glue on it and I could see crap on the lens. The rest is exactly as described in the video ! Thanks again,

Hello, great video thank you very much, what is the air flow that you used, minimum, half or maximum, once the chips reach around 170 degrees it's good can you stop heating the chips? I do exactly as you do in the video but when I remove the heat gun and I measure with the wireless thermometer it shows me approximately 110 degrees, is it obligatory that this value be at 170 degrees for all the electronic chips? I position the hot air gun about 1 cm above the electronic chip, there is no risk of damaging the electronic chip ?

[@PSICompanyPerformance]

thanks for watching yes there is risk of damage, thats why you should not maintain the gun in one place, you should hoover it around to heat everything evenly, if you use flux you will know when the chip is refluxed because you can see that the flux is boiling and the solder under the chip will be too, the trick is to put heat evely across the all chip. good luck

You need to reflow it better... And also make the coolling fan work all the time as the radio turns on, that way the radio stays cooler.

Hello watching this video I have noticed that my board is slightly different from the one you are currently working on. I have an 07 335xi with the CCC unit but doesn't have the ram chip that you took off the board towards the start of the video and it doesnt have the chip that you first reflowed. Plus when you flip the board over to reflow the 6 chips on the back my isn't in that lay out. My car was one of the first ones off the floor in 07 so the BMW may have used a different one. Is there any way you could point me in the direction which ones to reflow? I'm boot looping with lines on the left hand side of the screen sometimes. So pretty sure reflowing will do the trick just need to know witch ones to reflow. Thanks, Justin, McGee

[@PSICompanyPerformance]

thanks for watching is the loop only on the screen or the sound also cuts out? if its only the screen, then you should check the cable that connects the unit to the screen,( the one looking like a small scart plug...i have seen those fail quite often. if its the all unit, then reflow the components even if its not on the same layout it is still the same procedure. good luck

I decided to let water under the car from the front and back of the car's rear tires. When I started the car after washing it, the display didn't work anymore. The screen tries to restart itself every certain time. The screen turns on in white, the sos button lights up with a small green light and the DVD drive turns on momentarily, judging by the sound.
