Working with that small tip on the soldering iron is painful to watch. Can't imagine how painful is it to work with. From experience, get a bigger tip for you soldering iron.
@8:32 dont set beep or stop temperature as u do. here u can see that when u try to lift the socket it was still soldered to one corner and some pads got ripped. just make beep to like 245 degree and machine to stop at like 250 (all celsius). then at around 226° celsius try to move the socket with a tweezer. if it moves wait 5 more degree (like to till 232° )and then lift it.. when u spot that temperature, use same temperature to solder it back. when on 232 for example move socket with tweezer (very gentle). it helps to make board working again.
@@jonast9278 i have a full ir reworking station (jetronix eco) but u can use anithing with a lot of practice.ofcourse bottom heater is the best and a full ir (top and bottom) is the best for not melting the socket plastic.
Considering the cost of this motherboard in the USA, it's 210$ on Amazon, such a repair of 100-150$ as being mentioned previously, is not economically justified. Only for repair guys with all the necessary equipment and if they got it for a buck or so.
It's better than just wasting it away at the recycling center. Different scenario: if you spent closer to $350-$400 on a motherboard which is common, then having the socket repaired is plenty worth the potential $200 with shipping included. Would you waste the $350-$400 board and go buy a new one? Or would you downgrade??
i did 20 socket repair (all from one guy at once) for just 20 euros each. i went to the point i dont do socket repair for that low price annymore lol :)
