Reballing BGA PS3 (RSX/GPU). Naprawa YLOD RLOD / YLOD RLOD FIX. Playstation 3. 

I have no idea how this popped up on my feed... But that was amazing. I love a skilled craftsman.👍

that is just great ... I'm speechless, the hands of this guy are so stable i didn't think such a repair is possible without a very expensive and specialized tools and workshop, thank you for sharing

Outstanding workmanship. My PS3 has just RLOD'd today, after owning it for over 10 years. :(

You're a Master , you are really a professional , if you teach then your students are the most lucky ones to have a master like you , you did every single touch so well as if it is the work of a computerised machine , and you respect the chip and protect it from the electrostatic charges , I thank you very much , I wish I was in your country to be your student , May God bless you and your teachers

I've always wondered how reballing works. Thanks for sharing. May need to send you my 360 ;)

Nice job, it's the first video (I've seen) on youtube without any sound takes near two million views!

Profesionalnie wykonane :) nidlugo zawioze do was moja konsole z YLOD

Very impressive vid, fascinating stuff! Always wondered what reballing really looked like!

No kurna,to jest dopiero dobrrra robota.

Polak potrafi. Pełen szacun.

Interesting. I've never seen something like this before. Thanks for sharing.

This was awesome to watch. I had no idea how they actually did this.

8:06 hold your breath, say a prayer 🙏

Perfeito, que Trabalho maravilhoso

This video was worth my subscription to your channel amazing stuff!

Sick, really sick work. Great Job.

That was legitness

Skuteczne to całe reballingowanie jest jeśli układy nie były przegrzane przez zabrudzone radiatory i nie posiadają pod układem krzemowym wadliwego spoiwa w serii wadliwych układów -Flip Chip poczytać o wadach. Inaczej to roztopieniu podlega spoiwo pod plastrem krzemu a obudową BGA układu i jeśli pod wpływem przepływu prądu został uszkodzony przewodnik (mikro kulki pod chipem krzemowym) to naprawa na krótką metę stąd krótka gwarancja 3 miesiące. Takie same prądy muszą zostać przeniesione przez znacznie mniejsze przekroje kulek pod układem plastra krzemowego tyle, że jest on zabezpieczony klejem przed utlenianiem. Można by się pokusić o zalanie w nowej płycie szczeliny pomiędzy płytą a obudową BGA w celu uszczelnienia i zapobieżenia utlenianiu. Coś jak te gluty epoksydowe w Xboxach na narożnikach tylko ładnie dookoła obudowy :D No i nadal nie mocują stabilnie płyty do kawałka grubej( tak z 1-1.3mm) blachy z wytłoczonymi wzmocnieniami co by się to od cyklicznego grzania i studzenia nie gibało bo często aż strzela i trzeszczy nowa płyta w konsolach przy studzeniu po kilku godzinach pracy. Ale kogo to interesi ma działać rok max 2 a dalej zaczyna się kombinatoryka :D Ps. mi X360 z 2006 wytrzymał 6 lat z przykręconą płytą do obudowy i radiatorem dociskającym GPU ale to zrobiłem całkiem inaczej niż to jest w necie opisywane. Płyta nie została odkształcona. Teraz tylko nowy układ ewentualnie kondensatory nowe może polimery i dalej podziała.

i dont know why i'm seeing this.

Ale się czepiasz! Znalazł sie profesjonalista.

AMAZINGLY SIMPLE. If one has the tools. Thx guys great video

Way to go!!! Very informative

You are an ARTIST, my friend :) Cheers!

i dont have ps3 .but this video is so relaxing amazing job bro .

Amazing and perfect work. Great 👏👏👏👏

great... finally i can do it, thanks for the lesson

Good job bro very professional work 👏

you sir are totally correct... i hope that everyone could watch this video so they know how bad are the "home made cheap" repairs...

Super impressed! Excellent job!

Great job recording the steps clearly.Although I would prefer to have more details on what type of flux you're using, cleaning substance (isopropyl alcohol?), the fabric piece used for cleaning, the material of balls, and temps u used. If you mention those details, hat's up for you. Also where do you buy gpu/cpu patterns from ?

Watching this is so satisfying.

This was so satisfying to watch! Thank you Strange both Sony and Microsoft used crappy solder in their hardware.

7:06 wow with the heat they start to line up, it's hypnotizing

Yes. This is the same :)

One of the most gangster things I have ever seen in my life.

Thanks for the info. I always wondered how to resolder a chip like this (FPGA next)!

Very nicely done! :) - Only thing I would mention, is that during my time fixing these at creativeIT, I discovered that the thermal paste between the IC and the IHS de-natures from the heat of a reflow or re-ball, removing the IHS and replacing the paste makes the PS3 whisper quiet, even when playing demanding games.. Side note: Don't remove the IHS prior to reflow/reball, the cell will survive the heat but the RSX may die.. The IHS helps absorb some of the heat and helps keep the chip ridgid.. :D

How do you even know you have the chip lined up properly? That's just amazing! Mind blown!

You definitely deserve more subscribers

Professionnel . Bravo

Zwyczajnie ;) Kwestia doświadczenia i sprawnego oka. W każdym z czterech rogów są kontensatorki które ułatwiają pozycjonowanie - wystarczy że każdy róg układu jest ułożony tak samo względem kondensatorków a po drugie układy bga mają cechę "samopoycjonowania" się w trakcie rozpływu - nie szkodzi im minimalne przesunięcie, tym bardziej przy stosunkowo dużej średnicy kulek 0,6mm jak w przypadku układu RSX w PS3.

God I wish I could do this. But I think it's better I just try and get a PS3 slim now instead. What a great guide dude.

Niezła robota, na pewno się zgłoszę jeżeli moja konsola podda się YLODowi :P :)

perfect !

That's a fucking PRO

This was a really good video, i had wanted to see this done on a professional level. I had just one question though: How do you ensure that the chip is properly lined up on the motherboard before soldering the GPU back on?

Wow! Huge respect! Nice video. What IR welding station is it?

nice solder wick...looks like hollow braid...have never seen hollow braid before ..Also, to those using braid for first time...make sure its fresh and not oxidized.

Great video ,thanks for sharing this.

So much thanks for this videos, its so help full for me

UTTERLY IMPRESSIVE!!!!

Incredible. Just incredible.

very satisfying xD

Great how-to! But maybe be careful about solder smokes, even with rosin dipped ones

that was awesome!!!

Awesome vid. I also reball and was wondering what hind of pliers were those you used to pull the RSX off @ 1:00

Good Job!! It helps me a lot.

Bolting down the motherboard to a perfectly level surface and using a heat gun on the chips worked both on my ps3 and 360.

Damn, that was like a surgery. Almost literally taking the heart out, and stitching it back together so there are no leakages lol.

Excellent job sir...

To prawdopodobnie był topnik, możliwe że dostał się pod "blaszkę" w trakcie czyszczenia plecionką. Nawet w najwyższej temperaturze rozpływu topnik nie odparuje całkowicie - lecz to też zależy od tego jaki topnik jest stosowany. W tym przypadku był to AMTECH NC-559. W każdym razie wszystko przebiegło prawidłowo, gdyż po wlutowaniu układu konsola ruszyła.

Thats how it should be done nice video

Amazing! :o

Excelent!!!!

sos un capo muy buen tutorial, gracias por mostrar esto!!!!!!

Fascinante!

Perfectly executed.

Excellant. Travail. Bravo

widzieć twoja minę po 8 latach kiedy dowiedziałeś sie że wystarczyło wymienić jeden kondensator, bezcenne :P

Beautiful!

I can say this job is done by a perfect technician..great video..What was temperature of your iron when u were cleaning gpu chip and motherboard.? can we use rework station's frame instead of stiffen frame..

Perfect reballing method!

Bravo-Profesinal!!!!

once its at melting point thats all you need. If done correctly it will resolder to the board and that will be that. You will know as the chip will settle slightly lower, and that will be that!. Keeping things perfectly still is very important so nothing short circuits. pressure must be constant and free hand is not advisable. (making up a jig makes things easier)

So satisfying to watch holy crap!

Reballing done but faulty NEC/TOKIN capacitors left intact. In 2012 you might not know that, but nowadays you should always check and replace those first as they are the main reason for YLOD on all the phat (CECH A to Q) and the very first Slims (CECH 2000 and 2100).

very satisfying to watch

Very nice work!

A little bit too late, but amazing job, well done!

A man doing what a machine has made..

Thanks for the video, you are truly masterful! This is not an easy repair :)

Po 8 latach wiem że to tylko na chwilę , nie są problemem jak wszyscy myśleli spoiwa i rodzaj cyny , a Litografia i nadmierne temperatury . Nawet po całkowitym reballingu problem wraca :) Zeszli z litografia w Sliamch czy SuperSlimach i problem to margines konsol wydanych

Great soldering skills.

Good video. They type of flux being used is a re-work tacky flux. We manufacture the SolderKing halogen free re-work gel in a 10g syringe. Very easy to use and as it is halogen free it is safe to leave on the board

Really satisfying!

you are a doctor of electronic games

Powiem Ci - pełen profesjonalizm ;-) Jakiej stacji używasz na tym filmie ?

_Super, BRAVO_

excellent! ! ! thank you for your sharing.

Nice work..

first 10 min video WITH NO SOUND that i watch and enjoy xD

Excellent job. Good luck.

this was a perfect reball

Excelente vídeo. Saludosssss

Lutownica to PACE ST-50 z rączką TD-100 a zestaw grotów do tej raczki znaleźc mozna na stronie firmy RENEX.

best video on the subject

Wow,funny how people recently thought YLOD was caused by NEC but in reality,it has always been the RSX.This man was literally 9 years early

Impressive !! What kind of machine/materials did you used for doing such that thing ?

WEAEARRRRRY NICE JOB MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you make it look so easy that I wanna try it
