This job takes balls.

I like how he’s using another chip to scrape of the thermal compound of the rsx

Finally, the only good method for reballing. You will find a lot of videos with a bit of reflow titled as "reballing", but this is actually the only one in which the job is done properly!

This is like heart surgery.

holy shit dude that's a lot of paste! Way too much. It will leak into your other components and it can infect them. Just some feedback.

The actual problem is the NEC/TOKIN capacitors. They need replaced. Reballing is a waste of time and $. Diagnosis is key 🔑

Sorry - one last thing - it looks like you used 2 types of flux - 1 more gel like than the other (is more like liquid). Which fluxes are they, and why use 2? Thanks

I wish I had the patience to do all of this, I blame Sony though for poor manufacturing of the Original PS3 models. Now I don't know whether to get my PS3 fixed...just buy a new 500gb slim model or save some money for the PS4.

This guy is a baller

JESUS IS GOD AND THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD!!! Thank you very much sir. I am interested in a suggestion for a reball station or a location I could buy one at. I have checked amazon and I see them for 300+. What is your take on the purchase of a reball station sir. JESUS IS GOD AND THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD!!!

Several Technical Questions:

That's one of the best tutorials I have watched in ages. I've learnt so much from it. Thanks.

This is a pretty amazing video. We need more of this kind of advanced level content on youtube.

Great video. It was one of the best Iv'e seen and able to understand the accent. Nice to see someone that is thorough with their work.

This is one of the best tutorials on BGA work I have seen on Poo Tube. Subscribed!

Just a tip... the part of the cpu/gpu you take off ( the square shield) doesnt need to be heated up to take off the gray thermal paste in the corners. just use 99% isopropyl , works like a charm in a fraction of the time

Its 2023 and i can't lie, this is the cleanest Reballing video

Nice precision work. Well done.

I love that our reball technique is the same. Nice job mate, very nice.
