You're a Master , you are really a professional , if you teach then your students are the most lucky ones to have a master like you , you did every single touch so well as if it is the work of a computerised machine , and you respect the chip and protect it from the electrostatic charges , I thank you very much , I wish I was in your country to be your student , May God bless you and your teachers

[@C7TJFVB7CAZ_TyonorShap]

He isnt a professional, the main problem isnt the solder balls itz the thermal paste under the heatspreader ON the cpu and rsx, it isnt the reball first they NEED to try if the thermalpaste is hard under the IHS of the chips, if it is he just put a new one on the die and also ontop as usual, No fuckin reball needed, but f this dosent work then reball but if he is reballing the chip without taking a look under the IHS then if it is broken he can reball 5 times in a row and the ps3 will still kick its bucket, and thats professional not thoes reball dudes here but they seem not to get what the REAL problem is, its the Thermal Compound under the IHS peace!

[@bardockofalecido]

@@C7TJFVB7CAZ_TyonorShap You’re wrong as well brother, the real problem is (90% of the times) the RSX knocking on deaths door, Nvidia ordered a lot of those faulty chips from TSMC, the CECH-20xx models also shipped with the ever unreliable 65nm version of the RSX, the only reliable versions of that chip is the 40nm and 28nm, in conclusion, applying new thermal paste will mitigate the thermal throttling, but it’s definitely not a solution, and reballing is useless most of the time

Outstanding workmanship. My PS3 has just RLOD'd today, after owning it for over 10 years. :(

[@ExpressITpl]

Zwyczajnie ;) Kwestia doświadczenia i sprawnego oka. W każdym z czterech rogów są kontensatorki które ułatwiają pozycjonowanie - wystarczy że każdy róg układu jest ułożony tak samo względem kondensatorków a po drugie układy bga mają cechę "samopoycjonowania" się w trakcie rozpływu - nie szkodzi im minimalne przesunięcie, tym bardziej przy stosunkowo dużej średnicy kulek 0,6mm jak w przypadku układu RSX w PS3.

Skuteczne to całe reballingowanie jest jeśli układy nie były przegrzane przez zabrudzone radiatory i nie posiadają pod układem krzemowym wadliwego spoiwa w serii wadliwych układów -Flip Chip poczytać o wadach. Inaczej to roztopieniu podlega spoiwo pod plastrem krzemu a obudową BGA układu i jeśli pod wpływem przepływu prądu został uszkodzony przewodnik (mikro kulki pod chipem krzemowym) to naprawa na krótką metę stąd krótka gwarancja 3 miesiące. Takie same prądy muszą zostać przeniesione przez znacznie mniejsze przekroje kulek pod układem plastra krzemowego tyle, że jest on zabezpieczony klejem przed utlenianiem. Można by się pokusić o zalanie w nowej płycie szczeliny pomiędzy płytą a obudową BGA w celu uszczelnienia i zapobieżenia utlenianiu. Coś jak te gluty epoksydowe w Xboxach na narożnikach tylko ładnie dookoła obudowy :D No i nadal nie mocują stabilnie płyty do kawałka grubej( tak z 1-1.3mm) blachy z wytłoczonymi wzmocnieniami co by się to od cyklicznego grzania i studzenia nie gibało bo często aż strzela i trzeszczy nowa płyta w konsolach przy studzeniu po kilku godzinach pracy. Ale kogo to interesi ma działać rok max 2 a dalej zaczyna się kombinatoryka :D Ps. mi X360 z 2006 wytrzymał 6 lat z przykręconą płytą do obudowy i radiatorem dociskającym GPU ale to zrobiłem całkiem inaczej niż to jest w necie opisywane. Płyta nie została odkształcona. Teraz tylko nowy układ ewentualnie kondensatory nowe może polimery i dalej podziała.

Proszę zauważyć, że napis "czyszczenie układu z resztek starego spoiwa" pojawia się od pierwszego momentu - czyli zdejmowania cyny, aż do samego końca - czyli czyszczenia z topnika. Po prostu osoba montująca filmik ujęła to jaki jednolity proces bez rozdrabniania na pojedyncze czynności - wszak w tym etapie chodzi właśnie o wyczyszczenie układu z reszek spoiwa, czyszczenie topnikiem jest tylko jedną z czynności tworzących całość :)

To prawdopodobnie był topnik, możliwe że dostał się pod "blaszkę" w trakcie czyszczenia plecionką. Nawet w najwyższej temperaturze rozpływu topnik nie odparuje całkowicie - lecz to też zależy od tego jaki topnik jest stosowany. W tym przypadku był to AMTECH NC-559. W każdym razie wszystko przebiegło prawidłowo, gdyż po wlutowaniu układu konsola ruszyła.

Don't bother. It's not the reballing but the reheating of the CPU that fixes it. Just heat it at 125 degr for 10 miniutes will have the same effect. It's not the connection to the board but the waver to the pins that's the problem.

[@tillmanadkins713]

@@sticky170 ROHS complient solder requires higher and higher temps to reflow each time you do that. It should be replaced with leaded solder in accordance with US Air Force Policies to insure substainment.

[@sticky170]

@@tillmanadkins713 you're missing my point. It is not the reflow oud the cpu contracts to the motherboard that fixes the problem. It's a cheap cpu and reheating the cpu temporarily fixes the internals. But ends up breaking again as it is a shitty quality to begin with.

[@Djbiohazard1991]

@@sticky170 Usually, there isn't any problem with the IC itself. The 7th gen game consoles all relied heavily on ROHS solder. Guess what? All of the consoles in that generation have issues, despite having different BGA IC's. It's usually a cold joint under the chip, which heating sometimes does "fix", but only for a little while. It's still the old solder that caused the issue. Reflowing in this case is a temporary fix, and reballing (what's shown in the video, and suggested by Tillman Adkins) is to replace the leadless solder, and replace it with leaded solder. This will break ROHS compliance, but it will give better than new results.

once its at melting point thats all you need. If done correctly it will resolder to the board and that will be that. You will know as the chip will settle slightly lower, and that will be that!.

[@AndehX]

Just a heads up for anyone watching this video in 2018, Reballing does not fix this issue. It's a temporary band aid for a much bigger issue. The real issue is inside the chip itself. The chip gets permanently damaged due to excessive heat, caused by poor cooling. There is no fix for this. The only thing you can do is replace the thermal paste under the heatspreaders and hope that no permanent damage has been done to the chip.

very interesting but I have to wonder wouldn't desoldering and re-flowing cause damage to the CPU/RSX? The temps required to melt the solder are far beyond the temperature the package was developed to withstand. Than again they had to do this same thing to get it on so I find it odd. Maybe the side effect's are minor enough but I know the CPU/RSX will shut down at around 85c protect itself from damage due to overheating and solder melts at near 200c.

Zastanawiam się po co reballować uszkodzony chip? Przecież konsola nie przestaje działać z powodu zerwanych kulek pod układem tylko z wady rdzenia tego układu. Temperatura przy reballingu czy reflow układu stawia go na jakiś czas na nogi ponieważ przywracamy połączenia rdzeń-powierzchnia układu. Lepiej układ wymienić na nowy, wówczas taka naprawa ma sens.

[@ExpressITpl]

Masz rację :) Jednak na tamten czas mieliśmy za mało danych na ten temat aby to stwierdzić. Jednak po fali reklamacji przekonaliśmy się boleśnie, że reballing nie rozwiązuje problemu, a nowych chipów niestety brak. Dlatego też od kilku lat zaprzestaliśmy naprawy konsol. Pozdrawiam.

[@michacyber5609]

W starych ps3 fat przykładowo wynikało to naprawdę z odlutowanych układów bga - rsxów, ale w późniejszych konsolach faktycznie była to wina wadliwych układów, a nie połączeń.

[@jedrula77]

​@@michacyber5609 Wadliwe spoiwo pod chipem dotyczyło większości układów do końca 2009r. Pewien procent zapewne posiadał zerwane połączenia pomiędzy PCB i BGA lub obie usterki. Mocne układy i pracujące w wyższej temperaturze z racji zapchanego lub mało wydajnego chłodzenia mogą się "odklejać" od stresu termicznego i dzisiaj. Często karty z zerwanymi kulkami przekaszane trzeszczą mimo, że jeszcze działają. Takie soecyficzne skrzypienie i nie są to wyłacznie ścieżki w laminacie ( w nie na). Robiąc dla siebie wystarczy dobra chemia, taśma i folia, cyfrowa opalarka lub mocniejszy hotair na statywie, koniecznie podgrzewacz np. z grila z termostatem do max 150-170stC(wtedy potrzebny dyfuzor gorącego strumienia by nie popalić laminatu) , 2-3 sondy pomiarowe i trochę oleju w głowie. Żadna większa sztuka wygrzać taki układ podlewając odpowiednio przygotowanym topnikiem, który wniknie nawet w pęknięcia na kulkach. Konieczny wręcz niezbędny warunek to idealne oczyszcenie przestrzeni pomiędzy PCB a obudową chipu. Inaczej reflow możne nic nie dać a narobić bałaganu. Taki chip ma określoną ilość takich cykli a samo czyszczenie ze starych kulek też go nagrzewa. Później wstawienie nowych i znów cykl tym razem mocniejszy. I później wlut. Jeśli zdegradowały się luty pod chipem to szybko to wyjdzie po reflow a jeśli zerwało połączenie pomiędzy PCB a BGA to taka naprawa Reflow jest skuteczna jak rebaling ale dostarcza mniej stresu termicznego chipowi i jest tańsza i mniej pracochłonna. Z nową dobrą pastą i poczyszczonym/poprawionym chłodzeniem karta czy inne ustrojstwo może pośmigać nawet dłużej niż do tej pory. A wiadomo szczególnie karty szybko tracą na wartości i się starzeją technologicznie znacznie szybciej niż CPU czy ramy. Więc po takiej naprawie tym bardziej wykonanej samodzielnie, jeśli padnie kolejny raz to można ją wyrzucić do elektrośmieci, wystawić jako uszkodzoną lub zachować w kolekcji jak ktoś zbiera złom :D Obecny sprzęt elektroniczny i nie tylko w większości przypadków przetrwa w śladowych ilościach do czasów aż zostanie uznany za retro... To dopiero będą rarytasy za te 20-30 lat xD Nic tylko nakupić, opakować szczelnie najlepiej próżniowo z granulatem na wilgoć, do suchego magazynu i lepszy zysk na emeryturze niż z lokat w złocie :D

I have never heard of this problem on the PS3, but either way, there HAS to be a better way to do this repair. I will admit, this guy is good. However, all he had to do was add some liquid flux under the BGA (Not Flux Paste) and hit it with some heat to reflow the part. THAT is all. We do this for a living, on a much larger scale. The only time you remove a BGA is when there is a short. Opens can be reflowed. And as long as you add flux and clean properly after, you can reflow 2-3 times without damage. Put the thing on a hot plate so you won't have to focus so much heat at the top. And there is no guarantee that his way would work since you can't x-ray it to see if you are on correctly or if there are shorts or opens. It is just a bunch of unnecessary work. ha
