You CAN Easily Reball An EMMC Chip! (Nintendo Switch, Flash Drive, Wii U)

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

Thanks for this, been looking into trying more re-balling, this has been some good help!

[@chasefournier]

Absolutely! Glad it helped! 😊🙏

When I saw your title I thought, "Here we go..." Someone has learned about my success to reball a chip on the fly. But it seems the way I done it was pure fluke, which was to simply clean the board, clean the Chip, flux the board, Flux the chip and apply solder to the chip with a loaded Soldering iron so the chip ends up with solder mounds at each pad, I then placed the chip to where it was to go and using my heat station applied heat until the chip slid into place, surprisingly it worked. Also has anyone tried using a toothpick to dab sticky flux at each pinpoint of the chip to then carefully place the chip down onto a bed of balls within a Lid loaded with suitable balls to then lift it directly up again. I haven't tried this as age set in severe shaking, anyway, what I am hoping is that the balls will stick only where the dabs of flux have been placed, leaving excess balls to fall down back onto the lid. If that trick works... *YOUR WELCOME* APU I dropped yo a 👉👍👈

[@chasefournier]

Hahaha I've done this with other chips in the past, but I have found, if I don't have a stencil and I'm in a pinch, this is what I'm gonna try hahaha But the reason I bought the stencil is because you have a guarantee it's going to work, and if you have to run jumpers under the chip, the balls give clearance for that. So ultimately it's a better, fool-proof way for bga chips.

Have a ball reballin' 🤣🤣 Practice-practice. Good idea to mark your chips so you don't waste time using the bad chip, but save the bad ones for Practice 😉 to get the technique down. Thanks for making this look so easy. 🧐 I see you've been practicing 😜

[@chasefournier]

Totally!! Honestly I should've marked them, but I was Soo busy that day 🤣 Thank you 🙏🙏💯💯

[@electropanel1211]

I've seen techs that scrape the stencil with a blade after the paste heats and gets stuck on stencil but using iron is good idea

[@hove131]

What temp did you use for reballing here Chase?

[@chasefournier]

330C heat 50% for airspeed

[@rodolfoferreira5582]

Would you have a link for that on AliExpress?

[@3ijnweu3oq3]

as soon as you dry up the paste it will be so much better

[@KisoX]

Thats a pretty cool method! Where did you get the stencil from?

[@chasefournier]

Thank you! I actually ordered it off of Amazon! There's a link for it here a.co/d/iXSDSaN and in the description 😊

[@KisoX]

@@chasefournier Thank you very much. Seems like I missed the link in the description...I looked there first i promise :)

[@electropanel1211]

What's the name of that emmc reader?

[@liduardo]

The EMMC Reader, how does it work? can you rewrite a EMMC for another Nintendo switch with a bad EMMC? if so, how can I do it? whats the part number?

[@marcusjames1221]

Hi great videos I have learned so much and thank you when you replace a hdmi retiming chip what temperature do you recommend and there’s a chip to the left which has balls under it what temperature do you recommend for that one as well when putting the new chip on thanks mark

[@chasefournier]

Which console are you asking about? Glad to hear you've learned a lot over here 😁

[@frankfournier5183]

Very informative Chase I learned a lot!

[@shiftctrlhack]

Hey Chase ! It's been a while. I hope you are doing great. I was never able to get the stock settings for your camera from anyone. ( NRF 1st camera not the IMX385 V2 ) If you get time when your doing a repair could you take a few screen shots and post them for me on here in community section? Or even just open the menu in your next video for like 5 seconds at the end :) I purchased a new MS camera but would like to use the other one. I was never able to get the correct settings to have a good video quality like yours is now. I just need to compare your MS camera settings to mine and then try it out. I did purchase the RT5109 IMX334 from rising cam and the video quality is amazing. It has a super clear real 60 FPS in 4K. The color accuracy is also great. I was worried about low light but there is 0 issues also. I have the old camera all setup with an 180X lens & a .5X barlow on its own stand. The RT5109 is hooked up to my trinocular MS. I have the .35X adapter connected and a .5x lens at the bottom.

[@shiftctrlhack]

Only if you get a chance. I know your busy and have your own things going on. I would greatly appreciate it.

[@chasefournier]

Email me, I'll get it for you.

[@shiftctrlhack]

@@chasefournier ok thank you very much !!! Ill email you now. keep an eye out from mr.b.***

[@ErickRayan]

I think the reason why you didn't get it right the first attempt was because the q-tip cleans it in an uneven way

[@kingwireless824]

Where does one buy the stencils for all game consoles to do this reballing?

[@chasefournier]

The one in this video is on Amazon, the link for it is in the video description. You can find a lot of stencils on eBay and AliExpress.

[@TrunksDB-vu2ff]

It's a very informative video Excuse me, what is the approximate temperature of the air gun?

[@Me_preppy]

Should be around 420c

Hola amigo. Me gustaría saber cómo se usa el lector que muestras, tengo una emmc que no sirve. ¿Existe alguna manera de extraer los datos y traspasar a otra emmc con ese lector?

[@chasefournier]

Si! My Spanish is not good, but you can do that! There's a KZbin video showing how to clone the eMMC using a clone tool.

@@chasefournier Muchas gracias por responder amigo, ¿me podrías compartir el enlace por favor?. Gracias, saludos desde Veracruz México. Soy suscriptor, me gusta ver tus videos reparando :)

It should, I'm not 100% sure though. Try it!

Have you tried this on a PS4 Southbridge?

I haven't, but that would be interesting to try!

Excellent stuff.

[@samuelmagilocusts2870]

That is pretty impressive!

Lol, there is always a smoke detector that needs batteries!

[@chasefournier]

100% facts 👌😭😂😂😂

[@bigdaddystoys2393]

Dang, you the man.

[@kakkoishonen]

Your paste has too much flux on it. You have to dry it out with a paper towel to get rid of the excess flux before using it.

[@albertsekyr8759]

Stencil is crap, but thank you for the explanation.
