Well done Phil, good job taking it further than the RAM reball. A well deserved white light! Quick question on the reflow, does the machine allow you to get the board perfectly flat or isn't that too critical?
@TheCod3r
@TheCod3r 3 жыл бұрын
Hey Vince, hope you're well buddy 😄 thanks very much, definitely had a lot of fun making this one and glad I didn't give up lol. Re the machine, I wouldn't say it's absolutely critical to have it perfectly flat, but the more accurate the better. The machine won't do it for you and if the machine is too far out it could cause uneven weight distribution on the chip (with just surface tension alone). That could cause flux to rush down one side and potentially "float" the chip which could potentially cause it to slide. A lot of ifs and buts but could be the difference between a chip sitting normally on the board or being lopsided (or sliding away from the pads) Ooh does this mean you're considering getting one 😁
@TweakTips
@TweakTips 3 жыл бұрын
@@TheCod3r Great job Phil, well done. Just a question on the reball machine and keeping it flat like Vince mentions - I notice you have a support bar under the board (not just to the sides) to stop the board from bowing - do you need to worry about components moving/desoldering if they are touching that support bar and getting heated by the bottom heater? Or does the bottom heater never get warm enough to melt the solder on the components under the board?
@TheCod3r
@TheCod3r 3 жыл бұрын
@@TweakTips thanks bud, great question!. I think it could possibly be a think but it's never an issue I've ran into myself. The only place that could get hot enough is the area directly below the area your top plate is in, but I think as long as the board isn't moved too much surface tension keeps things in place for the most part :)

@Walter Bennet why wouldn't it be ? I mean, it took him about 2 hours (with the 45 of the 2nd ram) and yes it takes some tools and huge practice to be at his point, but don't see why it couldn't be economically viable with this one, i mean the repair cost him nearly nothing and 2 hours of work would be like what 50€ (and it's a nice hour pay) plus ... let's say 15€ for electricity and some crap. I would gladly pay 75 box (even 150 let's double the profit for him) if it means i don't have to buy another PS4 x)

@@kaptainkrunch593 It's not viable because in the time it takes to do this kind of repair several easier repairs could be carried out and more money made. The money made from this kind of repair just isn't worth the hassle and as pointed out in the video it's not even a guarantee it can be fixed (7/10 hit rate) So then it's just wasted time when it fails. As the cod3r said, this repair was done for demonstration/educational purposes and to help with channel growth. For a repair business it most certainly is not viable.

A lot of these consoles go to landfill simply because of the mindset of ‘can’t be arsed, I’d make more profit not caring about the planet’. The point made here was, if people cared a little less about profit, a lot more consoles could have been saved. That in turn leads to less impact on the environment. Making life more sustainable… But no, muh profit.

Especially when you're buying PS4's and the like by the lot and not by the piece. When you have 23 PS4's at one time to resell them, spending days on one just isn't worth it. Eventually, the time and cost to fix it exceeds the value.

A bit late to the party but solid work. I've been doing console repair since the ps1 modchipping days but stopped for a long time and started again during the pandemic. I love this work and thinking about doing some reballing and reflows after watching this. Thank you for a great show and looking forward to newer videos after discovering your channel. Why was this only recommended now? Either way I'm thankful. :)

This is the most satisfying repair video I've watched in very long time.. you're the boss... You know, you should post more and more stuff like this..I loved it.. especially that placing those soldering bàlls on to the chip was really a challenge.. however no matter what painstaking it was, you got it working

Question: For times like this where you are applying and removing thermal paste multiple times, why not use something like a graphite thermal pad. This would save you all the hassle of cleaning the paste off over and over. Or are the graphite pads not suitable in some way? Just curious.
@toxicavenger6172
@toxicavenger6172 2 жыл бұрын
Graphite thermal pads are expensive compared to thermal paste and even though a thermal pad can be reused it does have a limit to how many times it can be reused.

Man this very tough job. Imagining the whole process to first diagnose the problem, then try multiple methods that each involve a good amount of time investment to finally count on your luck that to things would function. Mad respect for you electronics repair people.

TheCod3r I wanted to ask and talk about starting out with electronics repair and electronic equipment. I'm not exactly well off, jobless more or less. I got a hot air station and basic supplies: tip tinner, proper solder cleaning supplies, and what not. Right now, I may have to use a makeshift antistatic board. Figure with mask protocols and what not I get away without a desolder fume fan for the time being. For the most part my fixes will be relatively the simple variety such as soldering a thin wire on a fuse end to end to complete the circuit on a wii remote to fix the power issue, etc. Just want really simple advice. Obviously Im going to have to do things a bit the hard way til I can afford otherwise.
