Replacing a Damaged CPU Socket on an LGA1150 Mini-ITX Motherboard

[@MichaelInnes]

2:36 Remove BATTERY, metal socket bracket and anything else removable. 4:21 Board heater to 180℃ / 356℉. (He uses a Puhui T8280 board preheater) 4:35 Add flux to the perimeter of the socket. 5:01 Add the hot-air nozzle over the socket. Heat to 250℃ / 482℉. 5:38 Socket is now loose. Remove steaming socket with pair of tweezers. 6:10 Squeeze more flux onto bare pads. 6:34 With hot soldering iron, add a touch of solder and start swirling tip, gathering big ball of solder as you swirl. 6:43 After swirling all around board, swirl again but now pressing down on solder wick with soldering iron. 7:32 Clean up old flux using rubbing alcohol and paper towel. 8:14 Apply more flux. Not a TON, but enough. 8:52 If you've applied too much, wipe away a little with a paper towel. 9:27 Set down new socket, and just line it up. 9:55 Put hot air nozzle back in place (assumedly to 250℃ / 482℉). 10:05 After some arbitrary amount of time, turn off hot air nozzle and let board cool down. (Not sure how to determine if the solder balls on the bottom are fully melted / soldered). 11:00 Reinstall CMOS battery, metal socket bracket, etc. 11:14 Reinstall CPU, cooler, ATX power, etc. Showtime!

[@Racecar564]

@@minbcraft True, though I must say that although I'm not arguing with you (and don't get me wrong, I appreciate constructive discussion)...(also, get ready for a wall of text) ...it'd be less likely for the base socket to break, as the end user wouldn't generally have a need to mess with it. The socket could also be of a different, more durable and more difficult to remove type, to prevent the issue in question from happening as well as discourage the end user from messing with it respectively. I think it'd have to be a different type anyway, as I can't really see an LGA package with an LGA socket as feasible. I'm thinking an LGA socket on a PGA package, with a PGA socket for the base.

Here's a top tip for you: The small lid that comes with the new socket? just put it on top of the old socket and use the vaccum pump to pull it, don't use two tweezers like you did because you'll eventually hit a capacitor or resistor on your way out. p.s. thank you for your patches, your work and your overwall amazingness

if this metal moves only a little it can cause a short and damage the mobo even harder and maybe the cpu and a lot more things. to be sincere, i have a board like that here and that's exactly what i'm thinking to do but that's my main concern. did you saw before what's the pin for ? and tested if it works without it ? because maybe its not even touching hte contacts

[@itzarty]

@@leoyru.3361 Well, I actually do not really care what would happen to the pc, since I fixed it and in the result I just bought a laptop, but anyways, it didnt boot without the pin + the socket i did that on has under 1K pins, so it was quite easier and till now (I did this like 2 month ago) the computer works just fine Only thing Im little bit worried about is that the metal might melt down, but I dont think that the cpu will be that hot

[@siedliko]

@@itzarty Most of the metals need 200 C or more to melt, so you dont have to worry about that :D

[@scharkalvin]

I'm amazed that when you removed the socket, none of the nearby parts got unsoldered and fell off, particularly the chip capacitors in the middle of the socket. I didn't understand why you didn't need to put solder paste on the board to replace what you removed. I guess that the socket itself is a BGA, and has solder balls underneath instead of contacts.

[@lincolnford2362]

I had to go looking for this too. They do appear to come pre-balled like BGA chips. I might give this a try too.

[@thischannelisnotmine]

I was wondering the same thing, but interesting to know that sockets can come pre-balled i had no idea lmao but i also do not do much soldering.

Until this day, i didnt know that sockets could be repaired/replaced. This video is just AMAZING. i have several questions and doubts tho: 1- where can i find/buy a board pre heater and a hot air nozzle for this type of work? 2- how did you know when the socket was soldered ready to the board? 3- the exact temperatures for the work are: 200°C under the board with the pre heater and 250°C over the socket with the nozzle? 4- how much time should you wait for the whole board to cool down? 5- how do you know that the socket is perfectly lined up with the board?

[@MrMCMLXXV]

One thing I do not get - by using the solder wick you remove the old solder from pads but then you don't apply a new solder to them. So what will make a joint between the new socket and the board pads? Is there a solder already applied on the socket pins? Or when you use the solder wick you do not clean those pads that thorough to leave some solder on those pads?

[@dosdude1]

The new socket comes with solder balls pre-applied.

[@MrMCMLXXV]

@@dosdude1 Oh that explains it, thanks.

[@em0_tion]

Great job! I have a question - you cleaned up the board nice, but where did that NEW solder come from in order for the socket to be actually securely and surely soldered on? The legs were factory pretinned? Wish you had shown us the back of the new socket or at least the new one.

[@typicalpctech6674]

If you had a money printer you would share what to buy with others you don't know? :P It's a trade, so he probably assumes those that are watching do this on a daily basis. He did explain what he used, "A board heater", and a "Hot air station" But that is either modified on a boom, or a legit BGA Hot air Station. Many different models and variations. The one you get is a lottery thing on how it works for you. I understand your comment though, but this is really tedious work. I change Bios chips occasionally so far and this would wreck my mind currently. lol Stress, If you bump anything else at this level of heat, you could literally wipe out any part of the motherboard by just dropping something on it. I however would prefer to watch a video of someone just deleting all the components off the board for a clear example of how fast and how bad things could go wrong in this scenario. Heating the bottom of the board too much could cause components to drop off the back side as well. Great job, I am jealous of how steady your hands are! Mine would just force drop stuff and probably laugh at me if they could... :P

[@Animalwon]

You can make do with a "reworking station" you see on ebay. "Reworking" is the translation for "desoldering/soldering" done in repairing a manufactured pc board. I got one off ebay for about $90. They come with a hot air gun and a soldering iron both connected to a box with digital temperature readouts. You flick the switch to turn on either soldering iron or hot air gun, then turn the knob to raise temp to your desired level. The equipment is easy to use but it takes a lot of practice to know what temp to use on specific items since some are temp sensitive and some larger items need a lot of heating to melt the solder. If you know soldering or have electronics as a hobby, its well worth it to buy one of these units.
