How to DIY LGA1150 CPU Socket Replacement - 404

for a DIY setup, it could be better to just replace the individual broken pins. The only thing you need is a hot air solder, well and a couple of pliers small enough to be able to remove the broken pins and install the replacement pins. The good thing with a hot air soldering station is that you can set the exact temperature you need for it in order to make sure you will not screw something like melting the plastic.

Also, if you replace the entire socket there is a good chance than some of the solder balls may not do propper contact with the board and as a result, the cpu will not get all it's pins properly connected to the motherboard which would result on an unstable and erratic system.

I see it looks like he made a DIY board heater out of a heating element for a clothes dryer. Which is genius. What I don't see is how it is powered, and would love to know.

you need a microscope camera for like those intense zoom, that micro lense though is great I love it

لماذا لم تقوم بتجربة وتشغيل البورة بعد استبدال السكت فأغلب مراكز الصيانة يقولون استبدال السكت غير مضمونة لإعادة المذر برود للعمل مرة أخرى ونسبة نجاحها 50% لعدة عوامل تشغيلية بعد تلف السكت ومحولة تشغيلها وهي تالفة مما يلف قطع أخرى غير السكت

They probably can make it so these can be replaced but they would get more money by ppl buying a new motherboard.

Hey I have a question. I know I'm late but do you need the heating element to take off the old BGA/socket or is it optional? Also would a simple cheap heater from a store work or is it a specific thing?

Hello, i got the same problem do you think i can just using the pistol heater for take off the socket. Or i must have a station of heater under the motherboard too?

Well you showed the issues others may have aswell which might now be avoided so counts as experience and lessons learned. Nice video so keep them coming. Thanks

can i replace my computer socket with heat gun

Would it be possible to upgrade an lga 1155 socket to a 1150 one?

Is LGA 1150 Stencil and LGA 1150 socket the same thing?
Please help

if I have a 1150 socket, which they barely seem to sell cpu's for on the market anymore, what is a cheaper and easier solution to upgrade?
or can I use higher numbers? Im not so good with the core and thread configurations.

GENTLE BE GENTLE

It's always a good idea to check the data sheet to identify what pins are f**ked, as many are duplicated i.e. 0V and Vcc and connected internally. If so, no worries, just ensure they are not shorted.

Loosing one pin is not death sentence.

ERROR 404: Fix not found.

That's great way to do the CPU socket replacement by yourself. You should try it with some other motherboard, that have only bent pins and no other problems.

That was pretty obvious that first try will not go well, but it looks like with little practice, it's possible to do it at home, you almost did it on first try, that's actually very good result.

That would be my luck to probably, lol

you shouldn’t have used so much friction on the pins that’s what i did with the socket that’s why i’m here :/

Soooo I gave it a go lol problems I encountered were temperature underneath the board I went with a 2000w heater but only got up to 130c one of the things I noticed was the board started to sag slightly I got the old socket off but the board I think warped slightly I cleaned up the pads and all ent really well
However when it came to replacing the socket was a different story long story short not enough flux and the board had warped I could see it wasn’t making contact in the centre of the socket
As I was paying too much attention to the underneath I didn’t notice the pins and top side had gone south so I pulled the socket off again need to add more support to stop the sagging
And then try again I have a video I might just put on anyway

Flux flux flux, you need lots of flux... the liquid type. It takes some skill for success in this application. Too much heat, not enough heat, being to aggressive or not aggressive enough, heating too long or not long enough all matters. Adding low temp leaded soldier to these type of connections is critical in removing old soldier paste, if not you risk ruining the copper tracings... it's a mission critical job for applying and cleanup.

Didnt understand this video

great video, learned a few things. I wish you had put in the processor and gave it a try. Not all pins are required. I have one question though. Why do you require heat at the bottom of the motherboard when the place of action is on top of the motherboard where the soldering flux is?

hei mate. are your still there? well i watched your video today. and this is some inspiration for me to make some tool like this. So after 4years. Did you try replace another socket? and how its going? is working on the second attemp?

please tell me how to made preheater

Is that bottom heater very necessary? if i have to this do i then have to buy it? Thanks.

Hello, how are you, I have seen your videos and they seem excellent, you have done a very good job, I have a motherboard that has damaged pins and I would like you to fix my motherboard, I will not be able to send it to you for now, since I do not have silver, but someday I'll get in touch with you.

Please don't EVER use acethone for cleaning. Use isopropyl alcohol.

Kiss my teeth,

Good video, thanks,,,

I need to replace the cpu socket on my motherboard. Several broken pins but idk where to even begin. Probably better to just throw it away and save for a new one.

Stupid

i was cringing with how hard you seemed to have been scrubbing. I wonder if thats what is wrong with my z87m board. Just loops or occasionally stops on 67. Which is cpu related. Already ruled out cpu, ram, and bios chip.

Is this what they call "re-balling"?

Solder not Lead/Tin..

LGA1150 sockets with mini bent pins that stick out, snag, bend, short, and last but not least... break off of the socket!!! What a terrible design!!! If anyone wants a reason to hate an uppity jack__s, condescending engineer; this here is your reason.

this is much more detailed than the other tutorials. thank you so much!

Good job man. Why didn't you test it? It should have worked probably.

"Crazy"! :D Nice work! :)

Asus muverbooard ?. 🤨

This was satire joke right?


2000watt heat gun? acetone ? Seemingly no experience soldering at all and jumping right to BGA reworking of a modern cpu socket?



Clean flux with iso or 99% rubbing alc get acetone away from motherboard use solder wick to clean pads with soldering iron with generous amounts of flux on the pads you are cleaning keep the heat gun away from your board that thing could melt your battery, don't charge and use that battery like that at the same time and don't connect a powered charger to the battery, turn it on after making the connections precisely preheat the board evenly to a very specific temp and you need a hot air station that can be set so you don't melt anything or exceed the min temp it takes to melt the solder, use a flux paste with solder bits in it when you want to solder the new socket in, clean smooth first then alc then flux paste solder then clean again ensure only a little bit a solder is on each pad then clean again add more flux over it put down socket heat to just what you need to melt solder and have it that hot for a short a time as needed then as you are removing heat ensure not to bump the board and don't touch any surface complainants as they might all be floating on molten solder but cool down slowly and evenly so that expansion and contraction stresses in the materials are not drastic and fracturing the thing from a cold spot right next to a 250c spot


For pre heating and cooling down you should use a air system that blows over the whole board gently even precise heat not a electric stove thing made with a lead acid bat..


and after all that probably still screwed up as a real repair would use a machine that heats removes uses a stencil for the pads places new part and then cools all automated and you just set the settings and put the part in and it does everything you don't touch it.

I really enjoyed your show :D , Tumbs up from me :D

what a crap. if u use 6eur 400W infrared heater from aliexpress instead of that heatgun u will repair it. hotair is bad for plastic.

Even if you didn't succeed, you learned a lot, and even trying proved your guts.

Tenho algumas dúvidas, por favor:
1. O que tem em baixo da bancada de madeira?
2. O que você ligou na bateria?

Obrigado!

i need help with my asus sabertooth x79 can you try it on themat board that socket needs replacing
