I like to buy all the BGA parts that I have to replace new and thus NOT have to use the "templates" and place the "balls" myself... well, I admit that I am lazy to do the latter and of course I need a preheater like yours because if you don't have it you will have a very bad day trying it. Thank a lot Jimmy for showing us this successful work procedure. Congratulations. Greetings from Mexico. PS: I looked at mouser to order a couple of parts for LGA1151 in my next order, they are at a very good price but are out of stock at the moment.
Hi Carlo's i had the same problem reballing can be very frustrating when you don't have the right tools. If i get better tools i sell or get rid of the old tools or else my room will be too small to work. LGA1151 socket are not so expensive i have some on stock for every generation motherboard that supports DDR4. Thanks for watching. Gr. Jim
@user-bh1tj8df3l Doesn't make sense to be honest. BGA chips there is no option other than recall. Whereas LGA CPU socket unless your a die hard expert. The topic of discussion is reflow for those needing to replace damaged socket or missing contact tips. Replacement socket is factory reballed when it arrives however it is again critical board temperatures, and cool down post reflow.
@@fixmyappjim Hey Jim, that would be very nice, because I already tried two socket swaps yesterday, but it was always a bit too hot towards the end. Removing the socket was possible after 14:40min and went very well. Aligning the socket also went very well, but the reball was not good. Does the socket have to move a little when you do the nudge test or shouldn't it? I have now finished the station and calibrated it very well. I used your profile 2, but I waited until step 6 for the reball, although I was able to remove the socket at the beginning of step 5. I still have 6 defective Z170s with socket damage in my workshop that I can try it out on. I also have enough sockets to carry out a socket swap Would look forward to a reply Thanks and keep up the good work!
Hi Toby, Good to hear that your rework station is working :) I increased the soaking time by 30 seconds and the maximum top heater temperature is 128 degrees with a large dwell time. The nudge test should move the socket a little bit, use some flux or else the nudge test will fail. I took me a few scrap motherboard to test my profile and to determine the best reflow profile for the sockets. Eventually if you create a good profile you should not even do the nudge test but just complete the rework program, i almost at this point :). Thank you for watching. Gr. Jim
@@fixmyappjim Okay, so profile 2 should still remain. Only under Soak +30s Time or? Which Dwell Time did you use? I also have some spare boards to try it out. Best regards
Hi i custom made the fume extractor. I used a Vents fan TT Ø125 mm - 220/280 m³/h. I also used a Garden High Pro Proactiv carbon filter 250m3/h. Gr. Jim

Very good video thank you.
Thank you for watching. Gr. Jim
you misplaced socket it should be turned to fit that cut corner inside the diagram, anyways good explained😊 & good work👍🫡
Yeah it was my first try but it worked :) Thank you for your feedback. Gr. Jim
It would be great if you outline profile configuration you used!
Hi, if a have more time, i will post the socket rework profile in this comment. Thanks for watching. Gr. Jim

@@fixmyappjim This would be very nice since my first attempts were not as good as successfull as I thought 😅
What fume extractor are you using?
