Jason--DRY your PASTE! Press out all the flux in a paper towel, then press it out some more. It should be like playdoh, no shine at all. Try it, it will be a game changer.

[@Shanbuddy]

Yes that can 100%result on reballing CPU..

[@ZUBAIRTECH4ALL]

iPad Rehab yes i agree with you

[@coctailrob]

I remember the first reball I did was on an eMMC. I did it all wrong, The paste was too wet, I lifted the stencil off before applying hot air. The wet solder paste spread out into an almost uniform film as soon as I applied heat. The janky silicone mat got a bubble of hot air under it lifting everything up and out of focus. Then all of a sudden the solder paste melted, surface tension kicked in and created a perfect set of balls.

[@ericblack1477]

Jason I've become a huge fan of your work and videos. I watched a video of you talking about ohms law and living by it. I totally agree with ya and I'm old school to about using ohms on your multi tester too. I didn't go to school for electronics and I was a school drop out but I had to learn myself too about electronics and I highly respect you for how you learned everything, you and I also learned more by doing that way than school could ever do. You have inspired me to try to do iPhone repair, I live in the upstate of s.c they aren't anyone doing that type of work here. Thank you for all you do and your time for videos. I will be becoming a patron contributer.

[@TheTitaniumSkull]

HDD Recovery Services channel uses a drier paste, and he removes the stencil before heating up the paste. Watch a few of his videos. He also uses a exacto blade to spread the paste instead of thick plastic.

[@MicroMageRepair]

with the wet paste after application try running a clean wipe over the stencil to mop up the excess flux, also helps pack the paste and stencil down a bit too. Just a suggestion that works for me, I dont worry about dry or wet paste anymore.

[@HETPEZB]

Those videos are simply luring me into the phone repairs :) Pretty cool stuff to watch :)

[@sudeshrani5380]

Dry your Paste using tissue and put it on using soft hand, use bend tweezer to press down the stencil. Good one 👍🏽

[@Dutch_off_grid_homesteading]

heya for a 1st time reballing a cpu you did excelent don't think there will be many people who will do a better job there 1st time

[@Spector_NS5_RD]

Awesome first time reballing an iPhone SOC. Hats off to you sir. I just wanted to say I ❤️you, so hard.

[@ststele]

Hey, I missed ur comment! :) I'm posting the conclusion to this board today and discovered ur comment while digging around in the comments. Thanks for still being here after so long!

[@telefytelefysson1606]

dry paste, 305c 60 air circle circle circle stencil then go closer and ezpz reball

[@JaredKaragen]

What i learned; Paste it. heat it; re-paste to fill what needs more heat it; scrape all balls flat to the stencil; and channel your inner louis and flux it up nicely heat it should be able to separate the stencil after the balls harden but before the flux cools. then you can clean it up from all the loose balls and fly forward with re-heating or whatever it may need (visually).

[@oblioi]

im saying blown cap because thats easy,cant wait for the next installment

[@shannon-daylereilly7112]

You can just wash it clean with Isoprop after the beballs to get rid of all the loose solder balls

[@BitRepairs]

“I’m doin it, I’m doin it... fuck” exactly what I say every time I try to do this - it’s so frustrating 😢

[@ybdforiphoneandmacbookrepa9793]

I was watching and when u start removing the extra solder balls ,,,, I said damn easy easy bro 😂😂😁 u will get it done soon brotha , just get the paste dry with a napkin 😁👍🏻

[@brianwild4640]

Don't heat too slow as the heat will go deeper in to the cup. Also the cup is cooling all the time. But you did good Jason. Also some people have good work with the solder balls you can buy

[@MrPnew1]

13:07 fuck is right Jason 🤣 I am trying to change my first Macbook T2 chip, so very similar to these CPU's AFAIK. I have a halfway decent magnetic holder but it still does not sit flush in the centre of the chip. I have tried dry paste, wet paste but it's a disaster either way. Trying this shit yourself gives me massive respect for guys who do this with ease, that's for sure.

[@ststele]

Yikes, that T2 is significantly large! It would be a challenge to re-ball for sure. I'm doing it regularly now on phones and it still makes me sweat! I am scared to go back and watch what awful things I did to the poor boards in these "my first cpu" videos.... lol I will post new stuff soon.

[@afsershaik5134]

I made it success after dumping about 8 donor boards😝 you seems to be more faster than me keep it up mate👍🏻 and yeah try squeeze paste before you apply it🤷🏻‍♂️

[@MrPnew1]

00:44 the internet loves CPU reballing virgins. Like all virgins you never forget your first time. Loving seeing all the great content too Jason

[@Duddie82]

I would agree, too wet. I am enjoying the video though. I always watch your videos. Have been for many years. Looks like a cool Stencil for sure!

[@TravisStamper]

Nice Jason! I and on the edge of my seat, can't wait for the next vid. In the words of AC\DC I've got big balls I've got big balls And they're such big balls Dirty big balls And he's got big balls, And she's got big balls, But we've got the biggest balls of them all!

[@zx8401ztv]

Looking better and better jason :-D The paste did look like you could float a boat on it, a very little boat :-D You will master it like every other task you have conquered lol.

[@bairfamilyfarm1336]

Der Apfeldoktor! That's the best I've heard so far!

[@klevrepairs]

Hey Jason. My opinion on the short is the tigris ic. Hope i find it and thank you for your video. It really help

[@ahmedaljarah789]

You Think it’s Reball Problem But that shiny cpu is defective Because you clean it in Wrong way We offer Cpu online Course

[@ststele]

Will see if this CPU works in a few days. :-)

[@ahmedaljarah789]

STS Telecom 10 cpu 2 may work You need safe way to deal with cpu

[@ststele]

@@ahmedaljarah789 Understood. My next attempts will be significantly different. This is an iCloud locked board that had no problems & if I have a 20% chance of success on my first go, that makes me pretty happy. :-)

[@johnnybegood8049]

I prefer to use solder balls for reballing ICs in general but judging by the size of these, paste might be the only way to go or ?!

[@nitsascar1985]

The HotAir Station in your description is not the same as on your desk isn't it? What are you using right now. Many Thanks and greetings from germany

[@durepair3149]

Thanks for the video, learn something today

[@Erolanya]

Nice job Jason!

[@josephking6515]

Ballsy job Justin. I get the impression from the video that you were ever so slightly please with your accomplishment. *Bloody well done!*

[@rodrigomaero]

Oh maan now we get cliffhangers? Stay tuned for the next episode of "Reballing with Jason". This feels every day more like old TV I bet you bridged something when you pulled off the CPU, or the Tigris you sloppily soldered at the end :P

[@ronnydoerk8988]

Hi there. I come from Germany and I really love your videos. I reball the cpu with 2% air flow and 350 C. With how many degrees did you unsolder the cpu?

[@SURGE101]

ronny doerk how long does it take to melt with those settings because isn’t 2% air too little air flow?? Just wondered because I need to do this very soon??thanks jay

[@ronnydoerk8988]

badboybarber1 hard to say. would say 1.30 minutes. I take the Stancil without a bracket. I put two layers of toilet paper under the CPU. then it does not deform the stancil. and with 2% airflow you don't have these big balls.

[@ststele]

340~350C @ 40/100 airflow is what I removed it with

[@virtualjoedub]

Nozzle.... nozzle.... nozzle... Nozzle-toff!!! LMAO love your content! keep it up!

[@walimobicare9334]

Very good my teacher

[@chrisniko9860]

Jason remove the silicone on the board, it can cause a lot of trouble if you dont.

[@ultravarialheadspin3]

hi i have a question for you, you aren't using soldering flume extractor/cleaner when soldering?

Dmitry but i cannot understand his language do you have solution for language ?

[@johnedwards1664]

Which solder tip are you using in the video bro?

[@SURGE101]

Would you say the cpu is the most difficult chip on the whole board to replace or repair?? I’ve never done one either.jay

[@ststele]

Yes, aside from doing the RAM separately I think. After this, not many phone ICs will seem intimidating.

[@deadbody408]

Toaster oven? .... They are often used in manufacturing board prototypes

[@deadbody408]

[@OnYourSquare]

Your current draw without the CPU will be around .06 - .08 mAh. Similar to any brain dead phone. Solid try for your first CPU reball.

[@jonathanbalmaceda5993]

Bro, press the paste in something paper in two lap and use

[@ststele]

Thank u. Very much due for a follow-up video. :-)

[@nerdgarage]

I'm confused. Your first round resulted in big solder balls popping out all over aparently due to excess solder, you scrape the excess(?) solder off, and then go and add a bunch MORE ?? I'm clearly missing something here. What ?

[@ststele]

I'm a hole filler.. I mean, after the solder all ran into chaos, many holes had no paste left.

[@SURGE101]

STS Telecom sounds a bit dirty😂😂😂

Hi Jason , I ve try many solder paste and same like u , they are always too wet .. When I leave it on my plastic thing ( for reballing ) for like 1-2 days at ambiant air , it s just perfect . So what i do it s make a cycle you know with 3 thing for reball (have to find the word for that ^^) . Or "maybe" the solution it s to put in the fridge , i see somewhere the degres of conservation of solder paste is like 1-4 ° but i ve not experimente it . If someone can bring the light here ^^ (Sorry for my english )
