Motherboard CPU Socket Removal Gigabyte LGA1700

Removing a damaged CPU Socket.
Trying to restore the motherboard into working condition.

[@tomstruble7380]

Wow, that was thrilling. Looking forward to your Wall Trim Latex Painting video.

[@JacksonPhixesPhones]

Excellent video! I just did this same repair on an Asus Z790I Gaming ITX board. The pins were so smashed it would've been a nightmare trying to straighten them out, so as involved as this is, it's much easier and trying to straighten out hundreds of pins (which doesn't always work). Thanks for sharing this! 🙂👍

[@slaidscio9179]

Hi , sorry for the question butim learning , so basically u removed the old metal and put the socket again ? Shouldn't you solder again some new metal on it? Or i missed this part

[@DevTech-Repair]

I used pre-balled socket replacements(pre-balled already has the metal on it) , so essentially all I need is to remove the old solder. No problem about the question

[@neptuned4746]

It's ok if you don't want to answer, but may I ask.. My first board I wanna save is a Gigabyte Z270 X5 Gaming? Something like that.. I'm using a Yihua 993 DM-IV w/ 45x45 Head (With an 850 to 853 adapter) and the PCB heater is a Quick 854 (400w/350c) WHat Temp settings am i aiming for on Gun and Heater, my quick 854 has a built in temp orbe that i can set next to socket to see actual board surface temp as well. Using Stirri V3 flux, so should I step up temp in increments? Any info would help massively, thank you. -Neptune

[@MyElectronicsRepairAdventure]

Hey! Any tips to prevent the board from bending? Maybe it's because of thin PCB but after removing a socket I could not get a new one to lay flat and contact the pads. Also, what is the optimal temperature to solder back a socket without melting it (especially plastic one like AM4)? The factory balls are most likely non-leaded when you order from Aliexpress.

[@monsieurduchemin2693]

Hi which bga machine are you using? 👍👍👍great work

[@soufianebakir4549]

hi buddy how are you i've a laptop with a processor AMD C-30 i would like to change it with another processor is that possible?

[@reubenmorris487]

What's the cost of repair vs just buying a new board? Had a Z68 motherboard socket go bad on me after 6 months of ownership...ASrock wouldn't fix it even though it was under warranty. How do you get the new socket precisely aligned with the contacts on the motherboard?? How do you retest after making the repair?

[@DevTech-Repair]

Sometimes its cheaper to buy a new board, only the higher end boards are worth swapping. The motherboards have an outline where the socket has to be within, you just have to eyeball it. For testing I wait for the board to cool down and just throw in a cpu, boot into windows and run a stress test.

[@nOOBOFCONSOLe]

not sure, it worked or not 🤔

[@balazsmeszaros5093]

what does it depend on whether you use desoldering wire or not after removing the socket? You don't use it for several of your videos, but you use it for your Asus Strix B760-I ITX video, for example. I'm asking for learning purposes, your videos are useful! Where can I contact you?

[@rompeldipp8488]

is ODID-TXN a very important pin by any chance? Might've bent one. Pin number is B36 on an lga 1700 board.

[@jimlenovo3014]

How long do you it gonna last? its the same like the original quality and durability over time?

[@mahdi8572]

Impressive work

[@joseperez-zo6fr]

Also, did you use flux to help resolver new socket

[@joseperez-zo6fr]

How long did you leave the heat after you put new socket on

[@lemagreengreen]

Impressive! never seen it done before. Did it work?

[@DevTech-Repair]

Yes, I had some issues with the old BIOS but after flashing and updating it worked great.

[@midealdarwish6486]

I have MPG Z790 CARBON WIFI This requires a complete change of the base lga 1700 in Belgium can you help

[@Merchb0yy]

may I ask which BGA Machina you used?

[@DixieRect]

Great job! What was the max temp you used when soldering and de-soldering?

[@DevTech-Repair]

165c

[@maxflute7893]

​@@DevTech-RepairIs there some kind of low melting point solder used in these sockets? Is the same stuff on the chinese replacement sockets?

[@DevTech-Repair]

​@@maxflute7893 Lead-based has a lower melting point, in my experience 165c is the sweet spot for my machine. I'm sure it's a little different for different machines, if I were to guess the Chinese socket replacements are all using the same thing.

[@maxflute7893]

@@DevTech-Repair do you think this would work with a good hot air station, big nozzle and an infrared board preheater?

Where is your repair shop located

Mera pass ek motherboard hai ki vah white ka uska processor ki jagah change kar paoge kya

[@ErikS-]

You do not cover the elements in the center of the socket?

[@RB-pc7tg]

You don’t need to cover those. Those are ceramic capacitors and can withstand the heat, the electrolytic ones around the socket are more prone to damage.

[@denarq8543]

Hi, I broke the socket today can you share me the link to buy the certified socket

[@BrandensOutdoorChannel]

what is all that gel for? how does the heat not melt the board?

[@DevTech-Repair]

The gel is flux, PCB board can withstand high temperatures for short periods without damage

I may have a motherboard that needs this done..

[@mohaimenulimam233]

Did it work?

[@rallyscoot]

How long did you heat to remove and to solder?

[@DevTech-Repair]

Around 3-5 minutes, the machine will gradually increase the temperature

[@nathanthepcguy]

You should have more subs!

[@itstheweirdguy]

Where do you get the replacement sockets from? Are they pre-balled or do you have to ball them? What is your success rate with this process? How much does this machine cost? How often do you use it? At work when people break their pins in their LGA socket, I tell them to buy a new motherboard and I'll install it. GTFO LOL.

[@DevTech-Repair]

I get them from a supplier overseas (You can buy them on eBay or aliexpress). They are pre-balled, I'm able to get about 80% to work after replacement, the machine is about $4,000 usd and I use it often. Somehow its common for people to bend their pins. I usually only work on high-end gaming motherboards as most times its just better to buy a new board.

[@nunyabuisness-gl6cd]

What was the point of this? What drived you to do it?

[@DevTech-Repair]

The board had many bent pins and wasn't functional, it's hard to tell from the beginning.

Good luck trying to get it to boot

[@mhammadalloush5104]

If GPUs can be reballed, sockets definitely can

[@729usbow]

It is just a reball, same with GPUs chips it will boot no problem

[@jocerv43]

Kind of interesting how it’s assumed the original comment wasn’t just a good luck instead it’s just a snarky comment all because he elaborated.

[@JacksonPhixesPhones]

I literally just did this exact same repair to an Asus Z790I ROG Gaming ITX board an hour ago; smashed pins, not worth trying to straighten them out. WTH are you talking about with "good luck getting it to boot"? It's an LGA socket; do you think it's paired to the motherboard or something? It's just a physical connector(s), and after replacing it she boots up just fine. How do you think they put them on at the factory? We don't all have reflow ovens in our shops, so we use hot air stations. What an embarrassing comment.

[@balisff5801]

😢😢 funny comment

[@goab1622]

What is the purpose of this?

[@DevTech-Repair]

The original socket had bent pins, which made it not work. Swapped the socket for a new one, now the board will work.

[@nOOBOFCONSOLe]

@@DevTech-Repair how much it costs ?

[@DevTech-Repair]

@@nOOBOFCONSOLe Depends on the socket, it ranges from $70-120 for the service
