How To DIY CPU socket Remove for repair Intel LGA - 388

[@mikegaming4924]

You can remove it once it is 200 degrees C. I think the PCB can handle the 200 degrees. You don't need that foil there, there are no heat sensitive components there. It only makes it more difficult to raise the BGA socket out. That Infrared thermometer appears to be very useful. Heat the socket to 200 degrees C, and lift it off, but don't heat it to 300 degrees,

[@MyPlayHouse]

This is quite a while ago,, but thank you very much.

What about the capacitors? They will explode

[@stephenhood2948]

The cool thing about this is you did it all with stuff you already had, short of the board heater. Nice job!!

[@MyPlayHouse]

I did buy the 12V heater,, and waited a while to get it,, for this projekt :-)

[@abdullahnahas3728]

@@MyPlayHousewould you say the heater is necessary, or would it still work with just a headgun

[@amp-ts7qx]

i am seeing this for the first time 5 years after you first posted it. Very ingenious and clever. Thank you. I'm trying it with a socket for a Mac Pro 2013

[@bigben2k]

I didn't think you'd actually try it, but congratulations on the effort; that was impressive. Can't wait for part 2!

[@MyPlayHouse]

HI Thanks,,, waiting for spare parts. :-) Thank you for watching! :-)

[@jaywalt1311]

Morton, order some high temp kapton tape. the generic from china works fine. Cover the caps and stuff with it and it will help protect the parts. use some solder wick to remove the solder bridges on the pads. yes the difficult part will be soldering the new socket. temperature control will be imperative, too low and not all the joints will flow, too high and the plastic will melt. You can buy a "reflow station" for under $50 from china and it has a soldering iron station too. I finally got one and use it All the time and love it!

[@jaywalt1311]

Here's a combo hotair and soldering iron station, its the one I have... www.ebay.com/itm/252424336196 They also have just the hot air gun stations for around $35. I know this is a budget project but its a great investment and offers much better temp control. Replacement guns are also available for a very reasonable price!

[@MyPlayHouse]

HI Thanx for the great input,, I do have acces to a reflow station,, and was offered to lend it for this,, I wanted to try this,,just to do it :-) I did buy the heating element,, for $20-ish Thank you for watching! :-)

[@fss1704]

it's a waste to put a new socket on it, just solder it to the mb, you'll get better termals and connection for an overclock.

[@fss1704]

aghhhh the plastic.....

[@brane2379]

1. Your shield is to narrow - You have to allow air to move laterally off the edges of the chip. 2. It helps to preheat the board from lower side to something like 100°C. It eases heating of the chip and lessens the thermal stresses. You could use thermal plate that is used with DIY 3D printers for this. Or a couple of heating lamps or grill heater with a small vent. 3. It is _really_ recommended to control the temps, Both preheater and main heater. get yourself a couple of cheap sensors and arduino. You are not supposed to "cook" the board or the chip for longer than neccesary or to overshoot peak temp significantly. 4. Remove the chip vertically. For this, you have to have hood access. Perhaps a small hole in heater's tube could be used of this, so that chip can be removed, while heater is still above it, preferably with spring actions ( spring lifts it at the moment solder liquifies).

[@MyPlayHouse]

Thanks for all the good sugestions.

[@DigBipper188]

If you want that heater to be more effective, you could seal the base of your makeshift rework station and add a small fan to push air past the heater and up towards the board. That should make it more efficient than it is now.

[@MyPlayHouse]

HI That is a really good idea! restrict the airflow a bit on the high setting,, thanx! Thank you for watching! :-)

FYI if there aren't any pins missing you can just straighten them out and it should work again. I did that with a mobo I found in the trash for my friends pc and it's been working great every since.

[@MyPlayHouse]

There was pins missing. :-)

[@pattskatoey3139]

You finally got there. You need to clean up those solder balls though.

Hi Michaels Advertising Digital Company Thank You very much! It was a good try,, hope to try again some day,,, glad you liked the video :-) Thank you for watching! :-)

I think that a piece of fiberboard would be a much better insulator for the caps in the middel of the socket?

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi You could be right,,, I will consider this! Thank you for watching! :-)

[@stephenhood2948]

Great video!! I like your shop, about a year ago I quit my auto repair job, that I had been doing for 30 years, and got a new job servicing medical devices. In the year I have been doing this I have gotten pretty good at micro soldering. I have been thinking Id love to start a small side job doing general electronics repair. I still have all my auto repair tools, but most of them are useless when it comes to electronics repair, though some are still useful. I just found your channel today, liked and subbed. You seem like a good guy, Im sure Ill enjoy your videos.

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Stephen Hood Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-) Thank you for watching! :-)

[@killerhawks]

So know its like 5 years later but did you replace the socket and did it work?

[@MyPlayHouse]

No,, I was not satisficed with my work,, and did not try,, was afraid CPU could die,, or Ram....

[@frankynakamoto2308]

They should make the motherboard socket removable, like a sliding upwards graphics card, that way we can put any other socket into the same motherboard and be more durable and upgradable

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Fernando Salazar Thank You very much! but now the CPU is removable,, and that is why there is a socket,, I don't think we want removable sockets... Thank you for watching! :-)

[@fsevilla1]

when you receive the new socket it comes with a cover. does covers support high Tempe turns and will help with the caps I. the middle I would recommend you to try to find a way to increase the board temperate a bit more so that the solder reflow better now the big question is if you are going to use solder paste or solder balls. either way I am guessing you're going to need a SMD template of that component to do so also find some kapton tape that is much more helpfull I have done a similar setup for a company I used to work using a heat gun , a broken infra red oven to heat the PCB and a microwave Control panel to set the time. I would start the infrared heating element first bring the PCB to a set Tempe ture then use the heat gun to reflow the component it has work great for me to reflow GPUs but I have never been brave enough to do a full replacement in this DIY matter thanks for the encouragement I must try this Lol

[@MyPlayHouse]

HI thank you for all your good info,, lets see what I come up with :-) Thank you for watching! :-)

[@elpre11]

this is probably wrong you must wear fasteners on the edges of the plate since you are heating it to high temperatures it tends to "bend" and damage or break other welds

[@MyPlayHouse]

Thank You..

[@pentiuman]

Broken to broken = broken2 (squared). Be careful, don't flux it up!

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Don Fisher Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-) Thank you for watching! :-)

[@mikegravgaard340]

You know you can get a cheap Chinese solder rework station for not silly money. Also you need the proper tools to raise and lower the socket onto the board. The BGA pads don't look too bad but you should reball them (you need to really desolder with solder braid and lead solder). Also I think you pulled the socket too quickly (you need to let the solder flow for a moment or so but your on the right track before lifting it). Also when lifting it, you need to do it in a uniformed way.

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Mike Gravgaard Thank You very much! Yes if You are going to try this,, do improve on what I did!! Thank you for watching! :-)

[@electronJarvs]

I plan on doing this and I would not sugest using solder braid those pads are delicate. My plan is to tin iron with leaded solder and gently go over the pads with the iron picking up any excess solder. Right about waiting though and no serious rush when the solder has molten should have time to lift/move the blower so you can get at it to pick it up square.

[@greengoatman]

Hey so I was going to do this to a motherboard I had laying around and I was wondering if you have had any success with yours

[@MRooodddvvv]

it could go waaay worse, so i'll call it success ;) but the next part will be more difficult. first of all i will suggest not to put there that central "protective" part. heat couldn't do much damage to those caps, but having that thing there will cause you much pain ! now it's time to clean PCB from the rest of solder. if you remove too much of it, with soldering wick for example, it might get tricky to make new solder balls attach to board. just go around with soldering iron and remove all excess solder. you could watch some of process on my channel if you like. i'm not doing it "professionally", but i was able to fix some boards when i need to ;)

[@MyPlayHouse]

solder the damn processor directly to the board.... why not... if you've already fucked the socket... i used a lot of processors this way in broken socket mbs, they're much easier to mount than the freaking socket plus you get some more stability and overclock performance due to the low loss in impendance of no socket.
