Harvesting a 65nm RSX from a YLOD PS3
This PS3 (model: CECHL) is having YLOD. Instead of fixing it, I harvest the 65nm RSX from it, which will be used for Frankenstein mod later.
Before part harvesting, I extracted the syscon error log using a FT232RL TTL. The error log shows 1002, 2024, and 2124. Upon checking the wiki, it seems these errors are related to the HDMI encoders, which means the RSX is good to be harvested.
Equipment used:
Flux: RMAタイププリント基板用フラックス 20ml BS-75B
Solder: Hakko FS402-01SN60 0.6mm 150g
Preheater: Puhui T8280
Thermometer: 6802 Digital Thermometer 2 Channels K-Type thermocouple
Hot Air Station: YIHUA 959D

    I might be late to comment now (maybe you already mastered the technique) but let me tell you what you did wrong and help you on how to get a success reflow / reball with your tools. 1 - Your biggest mistake is you were too impatient. You have to let the motherboard absorb all the heat given to him and increase the temperature of the preheater little by little (till 250). 2 - Don't operate the hot air until the board gets between 180 and 200. 3 - Your Hot Air Gun is too far from the GPU chip. You have to bring it very close to the chip (about 5mm - 1 cm above the chip). 4 - you have to use a vacuum sucking pen to lift the chip (or a pair of twizzers to hold on to it firmly) and you should NEVER let the HOT chip fall down like this on the table because you'll kill it instantly! Now those are the steps you should follow: A - Preheat the board to 100°C first then you add another 50° little by little until the board is 200 (you have to keep the board between 100 and 150 for a long time to let the moisture evaporate from the board and the chip's PCB in order to prevent the pop corn effect! it's very important!) B - Once the board is 200, operate the hot air at 150°C with a bit more than the half of the available speed (your cursor to 5 if it has 8 speed). Because the Chip is very big, you need a big volume of air to blast the chip in order to have the required amount of equal temperature on each side of the corners of the core (that's why in your video it's moving on some sides and not on the others!). C - Once the Chip is at 180, add more temperature to the air gun (from 150 you go to 200) and observe the temperature of the chip. D - Once the chip is at 200 - 210, add more temperature to the air gun and this time you go from 200 to 260 and you wait from here. You don't have to add more temperature but you begin to push the core softly and see if it moves. It should move once you got 240 - 260° and when it begin to move, stop all your tools (the Preheater and the hot air) and 10 seconds after you take out the chip and be very careful not to drop it. That's it if you follow those instructions well you be able to master the BGA chip removing technique. 2 more important point: - Because the core is very fragile, before doing all those steps apply some kapton tape to the chip to prevent the pop corn effect from happening! - your hot air gun is not suited for this job! you have to buy a model with an Air Compressor inside the Control box but not on the air gun handle because the volume of the air is very important and yours are suited for mobile phone repairs not for big PCBs!

    If you do a lot of this, the old panasonic 2.4 volt screw drivers are awesome. They used NICD but I modded mine to NIMH. they use 2 sub c cells. I modded the charger by removing all internals and just bringing out the two wires to banana connectors to use my hobby charger with them. The tenergy 5000 was a ridiculous amount of power that gave me way more torque and lasted forever on a charge.

    @3:00 Nope, it is quite easy to get that sticky stuff off. There is no need for scraping and scratching, just use a little standard WD40 and then some isopropanol afterwards, to get rid of the remaining WD40 residue. Standard WD40 is not a lubrication oil, as some people think, it is solely meant for cleaning off persistent sticky stuff like this.
