I have never seen this kind of reballing, amazing work although you weren't able to fix it! Loved watching it though!❤

Thanks, I learnt a lot, will go again another time

Nice attempt. I done my 1st cpu reball on a switch lite last week. Done it by hand and took bloody hours haha. There was a damaged pad under it so had to repair that 1st. It was a success!! Well chuffed. Not doing it by hand again lmao. Was also BSOD.

Good effort! I've tried hand balling myself in the past, couldn't stop the balls from sticking to the tweezers, then once I did as soon as added heat the balls moved, absolute nightmare, never again! So know what you did is hard!

Reballing looks really hard to get exactly right. Good job and good job on future attempts!

@@fixingmoddingbuilding yeah fixing everything isn't the reality, I have loads of failed boards

From Bluescreen to Blackscreen😂No Pretty good for the first time. I practiced on old notebook circuit boards and destroyed a lot of them. 480C is way too much, you just get popcorn. It's best to work with a preheater and heat the board to 150C from below and then heat from above to max 300C, preferably 250-270C

Thanks for the feedback, I didn't even think of the temp when I started, just wanted it hot! Obviously its not great. You live and learn, I learnt a lot and feel much more confident for doing another!

well there is popcorning on the chip you basicly killed the chip while you were removing it that moisture dries itself you did not had to clean that it resulted in uneven balls and finally check for shorts after any reball or reflow the way you did this reball it was physically getting sick try to practice on the dead pc motherboards chipsets they have identical dimensions and use a pre heater under the board next time use 390 for 1min and 440 to 450 from distance to remove the chip and use a pre heater to pre heat the board to atlest 180 200c or you will kill every other reball too!!

I have the same board holder as you, it has its good and bad. THE BAD IS THAT IF YOU DONT LOOK WHERE THE BOARD SITS ON THE HOLDER THERE WILL BE PARTS (AKA SMD ) GET KNOCKED OFF !! . I only noticed this after the 2nd board I worked on and sure enough its the exact same spot, on this time I was lucky and able to find it on my mat and solder it back. Look around the edge of your board for missing components. I was missing a diode in mines.

Yes I've also learnt the hard way too!

What is the name of the device you are using to test the power of the Nintendo Switch?

Once it's exfoliated, there's nnothing you can do. It either still works (very rarely) or it does not. The CPU substrates have solder too, if you heat them too much, they expand, letting that solder out eventually. Looks kind of peculiar and I strongly believe that you rushed out the process, as I have used 550C in the past, for GPUs, but that was towards end of life, and the layers were very thick, and even so, it doesn't allow you to do it too often. The substrate will eventually fail.

Board should be baked before attempting this to remove moisture from the apu, something like 24h@100°c - not that the excessive heat helped either. I still enjoyed watching the video 🤣

Thanks, I was spilt on making the video or not, but thought f##k it, I don't claim to be a pro but all the tips are great for future attempts!

the odds i think are good that a bad modkit install was tryed and removed from the switch. that caused the blue screen. it really looks like power charging chips may have shorts

That's what happened to mine, installed a mod chip and got a blue screen

you over cook it that s the cause of bubbles on the chip

You have Popcorn efect, you have no conttrol of temp. Is to high, and you don't observe MSL

bluescreen doesnt always mean reballing is necessary that is a myth. i have seen it happen to switch after mod kit install to oled when cable not soldered correctly. always go wire installation dont use cable

I dont have yellow tape can i use foil instead

Yer thanks, ideally I thought I might pull it off but in reality I expected a failure. I will go again if I get a blue screen again, just not going out my way for one!

I think 480c is way too much :( , the best for reball is preheat the board and use less heat with the gun. Nice try, keep going 👍
