The way you did it shows how experienced you are.

@bblod4896 4 месяца назад

That was very informative. I've found I'm not comfortable working with those large ICs yet in the manner you soldered them in (using hot air and trying to center the IC). I clean the pads, apply flux, center the IC and tack one corner pin. If all looks aligned , I tack the other three corners and then finish off the inner pins. I'll try your way on a practice board. Thanks Alex and have a peaceful weekend. p.s. Pad strips #2 still out of stock 😂

You know what's sad? I could be wrong but I believe the costumer watched a video on data recovery and he misunderstood this 128-pin CPU with the 8-pin BIOS. When the old PCB is dead people will just bring the BIOS into the new PCB so it is able to read your hard disk properly and you recover the data. Again, I could be wrong but if that is the case he will be disappointed with the result (but that is his fault, he asked for it). That was quite an unusual request, I don't understand exactly why someone would swap CPUs between two Hard Disks specifically. 😂

There were still a couple of small bridges left on the chip when you first pulled out the mini pen...

All cleared out. A customer came in and i didn't realize record was not on when I continued. I went over all the pins and checked one by one.

@georgenicholas5210 4 месяца назад

Just curious, why you don’t use denatured instead of 99%? Technically 99% still has water. Just picking gnits. 😁

The customer is always right aslong as the can pay just charge for the work done even if it does make sense to swap a broken chip to board that won't work after the working component was swapped out

Hi Alex. How did you go with those palm trees ??

@NorthridgeFix 4 месяца назад

I trimmed a lot of branches but still have more to go. I'll continue on the next should workout day. Besides, the green garbage bins are full and won't fit anymore until they are cleaned out.

@HummyGG 4 месяца назад

can anybody tell me what is the point of interchanging those chips?

@deathtrap1976 4 месяца назад

It's a Marvell IC controller. Maybe there's a corrupted BIOS on the board "to be repaired" and that spare can revive the whole HDD.

@AJVAN_ 4 месяца назад

😂😂 yeah, there is few of us around who like to complicate things ( talking about what the customer wrote). There is an opinion if it seems too simple than it's probably wrong. 🤷‍♂️ But, you know, there are a lot of different folks out there. Amazing work Alex!

@kereeproject7268 4 месяца назад

Wouldn't it be easier to just replace the board and bios? I don't understand why this is done

@suryavanshib 4 месяца назад

Awesome ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

@MasterJediSean 4 месяца назад

Doesn't the BIOS chip on the HDD PCB need to be swapped and not the CPU chip? I could be wrong.

@GaleonGuitar 4 месяца назад

Yeah that was my guess, i believe the costumer watched a video on data recovery and he misunderstood what should be done. I really don't see a scenario where 128-pin CPU swap between two Hard Disks is needed, i found it to be a very weird request (specially due to the fact that he asks for a swap instead of a replacement), which makes me think he is not familiar with data recovery... 😂😂😂 Well, in the end if it doesn't work it will be his fault since he asked for that CPU swap specifically, he can't blame NorthridgeFix.

Sounds like chips doner board to new board it's just more a matter of fact in the manner of text

@JOEL6780 4 месяца назад

I have an optimus prime Robosen it's not charging I think it'd be a cool video for you to fix it it's number 26 so I don't want to send it off because they may not send mine back it being such a low number production I would like to keep it

Chip from donor board swapped onto "repair board."

@maklogetrich2378 4 месяца назад

no, I think chip from repaired board swapped to donor board, cause the donor board is good (supposedly) but i don't know, i'm just guessing

At 8:50 - the soldering tip after the NF-mini looks really rounded. Would that be a standard tip on a hobby soldering iron, like the Hakko 888? (just trying to understand comparison)

@paultomlinson528 4 месяца назад

I'm guessing the flash info is mask rom inside the cpu and the pcb is dead prob fried motor chip so this method is the only option for data recovery for the client?
