One more for the thread please guys. Also been thinking of getting into this but does seem vast difference in systems and chances of getting good results.
Worth investing in reballing tools?
- Thread starter djyox
- Start date
yes that was simply meant to show that we are not bsing lol we are definitely involved in reworking
this is the machine that we started out with and it was $1300 and it was by using this machine that we were able to afford a better machine

hi
yes it's worth.i save a lot of laptops after reballing the gpu or southbridge chipset.
especially hp pavilion.
but u must have a lot of stencils(for ati,nvidia,via etc),quality balls,quality flux paste and another tools.and be carefully with the temperature!!!!!
after some years of experience i am able to do a chipset reballing without a reballing station.just with hot air.is more difficult and must be very careful with the temperature.i recomend to u for the start a reworking station.depends on your budget!!!
good luck.

very interesting thread and videos.
I always thought that demand for this type of service or specialty would go down as the OEMs, like Microsoft, nVidia, and HP "learned" from their mistakes, but I still see a lot of laptops with bad video chips, only now they tend to be ATI/AMD. Rework could also be applied to smartphones, I imagine. There could be a huge market for this.

Ok, so on the topic of rework station. IR vs Hot air? I know IR is suppose to be better, but I've heard Hot air is easier to work with. Either of those two statements true?
