PS4 Blue Light of Death - APU reball from begin to end

And where do thermopads on ram memory from the other side? NOOB! An excellent example of how not to repair modern electronics!

BTW another example por flip-chip mounting technology. Same crap like X360 and little PS3.
In those cases, reballing as well as heating itself were used to melt the solder and gave a similar effect.
In most cases, soldering only a new CPU with permanent solder under the silicon system gives a decent result of the repair for a long period.

High temperature and high electrical current on the nano contacts cause faster degradation of the solder between the silicon wafer system and the BGA housing.

The best way to prevent such effects is to limit the power emitted by a single silicon system to about 80-100W. So packing the CPU and GPU into one system separating about 140-200W into a weakly entertained housing with inefficient cooling is a dead end when it comes to durability. Unless the silicon core for the BGA housing starts to mount as INTEL does. Wires! : D
Of course, the minute stiffness of fixing the MOBO motherboard also causes it to deform under the influence of poorly received heat from the CPU.

What was in the aerosol can you used? I'm curious.

You don’t want to touch the chip with the iron when adding leaded solder. Add enough solder to the tip so you have a ball of solder touching the chip not the iron itself

Gran calidad de trabajo en el reballing aunque habria que tener cuidado que las soldaduras no se vuelvan a derretir por el exceso de calor, mucha pasta termina, una gota de una buena pasta de slto rendimiento era mas que suficiente para unos 3 años de duración

is it possible a full restoration or full recover in this cases? how true is it when ppl said "console never gona work well after this, console doesnt gona be restored in a 100%" thanks for the response btw.

Hi, what soldering station setup is this ?,

Ah! So that's one way the "blue light of death" is fixed. I've wondered about this.

My PS4 slim 1000 terabyte model has networks since November of last year it's doing the blue light thing that goes on and off and doesn't turn on again I'm pretty sure it's because it's really dirty though inside and there's a lot of roaches in there bugs a lot of dirt

What kind of rework station do you have? I was thinking about getting one but I don't know which one is good since all the cheap ones come from china

Ik heb er geen verstand van wel leuk om te zien👍
Haha het is wel grappig al die Kapteins die aan wal staan.

Thanks,this video was very useful 👌

well done sir👏👏👏

so if its a blue light of death, the whole light in the center won't light up it will jus flash or blink blue

I have the same issue how can i solve this?

Can you repair my ps4,i'm from Malaysia

You did not show hiw you put the soldering balls in ..you suck asss

i still cant believe Sony doesnt change how the APU is connected to the board. isnt there a better way than balls of solder? i dont know use pins or something?

ram samsung korea
manitor samsung
apu amd taiwan
sony 1 mother board froum of china
japan is dead

Thank you very much for you effort and this educational video but unfortunately this kind of damage is permanent the apu can fail again in a very short period

I kept wanting to turn on my fume extractor

Beste ... Vol bewondering naar je video gekeken, geweldig!!! vraagje kun je mij vertellen waar je de rebal-set hebt aangeschaft. Mvg RR de Jong

wow

Sony has failed

At least we know that there was no shortage for flux or thermal grease in Netherlands in 2015 :^) As for the job - well done! And don't listen to those assholes seeking flaws in your work. We haven't seen them sharing their work and knowledge (and flaws) with anyone. Hindsight critisizm is always so smart. We all develop only through doing something and making mistakes on the go. Improving on those mistakes makes a master, not just sitting one's ass off doing nothing but seeking flaws.

Thanks for the video it was very cool to watch man. I just have one question where do you get the APU specific stencils for the balls?

i wish I had the skill to replace my ps3 RSX but sadly I do not lol. Nice repair

that seemed like alot of work to save a ps4

You could almost use the chip as is after applying the leaded solder. The only problem is that you don't know for sure that they are all the same height otherwise it would be perfect to use the pseudo leaded balls so that you can reflow the chip at a lower temp back onto the board.

if manufacturers stopped making cheap crap and using lead free solder these would never have all these issues

Bonjour comment s’appelle le procédé ou le nom du matériel qui permet de dessouder le support du processeur ? J’ai un ami qui a une grosse carte mère avec les picots hs sur le support…

what flux do you use?

а через месяц он снова отказал.......

結局熱対策しないと再発するからな～欠陥商品だよね。

My balls keep sticking together.
Using minimum flux, same result.
What flux is best for reball ?
Nc599 clearly isn't.

Interesting but discouraging. A ton of careful steps and a machine, and even a pro that knows what they're doing it took 45 minutes to complete. So basically if your unit needs a reball and the clamp fix doesn't work, then you gotta sell your unit for parts cuz no one would do this repair for a reasonable price. I saw one person on ebay willing to do it and I think he charges $175 and you have to mail him the motherboard.

Wayyyyyyyyyy toooooo much thermal paste, omg lol 🤣🤣

Youre the man

Nice reballing...good job

Qual é o nome da ponta larga? What is the name of the wide end?

Beautiful

Hard work

ik zou graag in contact met u willen komen, hoe doe ik dat? het gaat om een vraag over controller sync NOR flash corruption

i took this class back in the 80s....aced it

All these fancy very specialised specific tools and you can't afford a simple static free mat instead of a wooden table? God knows how you've never scratched up a chip scraping it around on a wooden desk

Can be repair PlayStation 3 yellow light of death

Happy New Year to you and your family I am a new follower

Now i know why people never bother fixing this and just get a new Motherboard

excellent Excellent, as BLOD repairing no body does it and they say they cant fix it, and you did it , EXCELLENT WORK

Pro tip avoid touching the clean pads with your fingers as grease and dirt doesn't help other than that it's a great job 😉
