BGA Rework Station Profile - The Basics 

Sir you are a gentleman and a scholar. Your video is very helpful as I didn't understand the manual that came with mine.

your video is very good, and well thought out...you explain in depth, not like a lot of other video's where they just play music

Just some kudos Converting your info to help me with a Ly IR 9000 and getting reflow and rework profiles. I love this stuff, new to BGA reworking. Your video is truly very precise and informative. Thanks

Yes! I was so excited when I found your video. It took me awhile to find a how to video that was recorded in English and this one told me exactly what I needed to know. I wanted to learn how to set and use the top heater and how to use the programmer to set it with. I'm so grateful for this video. Thank you! I look forward to your experience with the Xbox slims as well because I also repair Xboxes and other game systems.

You saved me so much frustration. Thank you for explaining everything. This is my first time using a BGA Rework Station and I couldn't use it until now. Now that I understand I can get started.

Thank you sir. I just got the machine and doing rework with loaded profile. After watching this video I would start setting my own profile. One more thing I would like to share is that , graphics chips with glass on it broken when the top hot air temperature reaches to 255 . After that I made changes to the built in profile and kept bottom heater upto 260 and top hot air heater at 240. This solves the problem.

Thank you so much XJonnyGunsX ! really ! i just recently grabbed my ACHI machine 3 weeks ago...and this is very helpful for me i already timed my profile halfway and all you said and pointers is true...hoping for more vids coming from you...swensonb

Your comment is understood for someone that already knows what they're doing with rework machines. This video is for the complete newcomer. That being said, you would agree with me that if you didn't know how to do any of this, you'd appreciate the extra time spend going over it a couple times.

Watching your vid Johny was more helpful then spent whole week reading internet. Thx very much for posting this. It will be nice if you will find some free time and show us how your profile works on xbox/ps3 board. Thx again

Thanks dude id be lost without this video it all makes sense now !!! time to create a profile or 2 its a shame you have to cycle each temp to achieve profile especially if your only doing a one off board :) thanks for posting from OZ

Thank you for watching my videos here! :) I have several other reworking videos on my channel that use this profile. I hope they can be useful to you. I have them listed in a reworking playlist. Again, thank you for your support!

Great stuff Jonny!

I use the same settings for a PHAT Xbox 360 and it works great. Yes, definitely remove the heat spreader. Makes life a while lot easier. Use a razor blade and cut carefully around the edges of the heat spreader and it will eventually pull off. I'll have a video on that soon. :) Thank you for the comment.

Great vid Jonny. Only thing I'll add is do not buy a profile! People out there are charging upwards of $100 for a profile that won't work. There's no shortcuts and you must create your own!

I set a profile in my IR6000 (with enlarged bottom heater) for X360 board as You in the video and it works fine but I have to set bottom heater to 370 degrees because bottom thermocouple is attached directly to the bottom center ceramic element. When I seto to 222 degrees board heats up just to 90 degrees.

I use the machine's built-in support. After I found out how to use it properly, that was all I needed. I would recommend a PCB support though. Can never go wrong with keeping that board flat :)

Great video! Precise and well spoken. You mentioned some ir rework stations need different lower heater values for preheating. I could use some help if you do not mind. My set up is Ly Dark IR 9000. 1000w lower elstien max 900c. Upper 250w dark IR. Question, I'm not lifting chips, I believe it's the lower temp not getting the upper pcb temp above 70c even with my lower temp at 360c and a soak time of 600 seconds. The thermocouple is resting correctly on the lower dark IR heater plate. The PCB is 30mm above the lower heater glass plate. Upper heater is 15+ mm above the pcb. And I'm running a typical profile, but without your final higher profile settings of above 250c. Thank you.

Thanks dude! That is pretty helpful...

awesome :)

excelent video

I have my T8280 set at 300 for the bottom heater and use the Aoyue 968A, and still practicing on it

very good tutorial! Thanks!

Very helpful video indeed. I finally managed to set my ACHI right, thank you. You've mentioned profile no. 3.. if I got you right you use it for chip reballing, correct? If so, would you be so kind to share it's setting? No need for video, just values should do. Thank you.

brilliant vid exactly the info i needed, thankyou ! i was wandering if you could tell me where you got the board support spikes from as have been looking for them for a while ?

Is there should be a glass at the buttom

Do you use the same profile to remove chips and to insert them back into the board? Thanks for the video, it's very helpful!!!

Awesome Video. Was wondering if you use a board jig when you do your reworking or do you just set it on the rails of your machine

Tried to get the board to 180c by the IR heater and it never past the 80c, I pushed it to 300c but the board didenr got over the 80c for some reason, I tested the thermocouple and it reads fine..also 230c for 8 minutes didn’t do nothing to the chip...confuse! Its zm-r720 and a macbook pro 2011 - 216-0810005 chip

Great explanation, hpw much heat do you use for cpu on ps3, ps4. Tnx

you have voice for a radio station :)

continued ] the "PRO" beside the step indicator shows pointing down as soon as I turn on ...... now if I goto to another profile and create just for top no bottom heat it shows steady and pointing up and goes thru the 3 steps I programed in .... any ideas? thx for the video btw

Appreciate, Mr. Mario!

Thank you.

Dear sir I have achi ir pro sc need temperature profile and software also please help 🙏🙏🙏 sir

Jonny, I have an ACHI IR6500. Would I be okay to use this? It has a much smaller bottom heater compared to the 360 Pro.

and yes, i was always wondering what is profile and what the hill they are talking about :)

Great video , what do u reckon is the best rework station available for around 6'000 dollars as i'm looking to upgrade my current setup.

Thank you, sir!

Hi.. i have honton r392.. can you help me how to start setup for my own..

A good video and the first I have seen which really explains the PC410. thank you. I am going to ask you whether you would ever be able to show how an xbox or computer GPU / CPU fix? The thing I like is you cater for the idiots amongst us.by repeating what you have done....lol Thanks again

I have my T8280 set at 300 for the bottom heater and then i use the Aoyue 852A+ the same one as you have and i just have to crank it up manually. Would be much easier for it to be automatic but im not too fussed

hey jonnyguns I just got mu ir6000 v4 in the other day been watch the video a few time I have got my time and temp set point for the bottom plates r 1 1.00 ,l 1 0 ,d 1 420 then I go to r2 1.00 L2 190 D2 180 [set 3 mins to get my times] anyways after machine is completely cool room temp I turn it on and start and time the bottom plates just to be sure [2 stop watches] and right on the money hit 180c but the 2 step never kicks in I even left on for 10 mins nothing

Hi ! What is the best profil for GPU laptop reflow ? (generic) Thx

thank you!!

Would you know the best settings temperature wise for a reflow on a xbox 360 slim also do you remove the smaller heat shield covering the CPU

Can you help me with setting up a ly hr560 machine

what about the ir-6000 can it go to 220*c as well I know your machine is diff then mine =^(

Sure thing! :)

verrrrrry god tutorial.thanks. i cant fiind any tut. for my honton ht r490 v2,and if you can give me any advice.......

nice

hello brother can you give me profiles on sr170 cpu thanks

Hi, I bought newly a Rework station IR360 V3 could you kindly help me to do my first Reballing I mean could you help me to set its Temprature, we can also Talk through skype I need your help, thanks.

any one have zx-c2 Profile

You could actually make one that would work best for you, by following the guide in the video. I'd recommend going over to BGAmods dot c0m. You'd probably find/get an idea of what you'd be looking for - profile-wise. :)
