The guy in China told Sorin he needed to improve his soldering skills. Now that is funny. The guy didn't know he was dealing with the master of solder. Great job and thank you for sharing as always!
Congratulations Sorin! 😍 One thing has to be pointed out: people who do bga chipset/gpu/memory replacement using only hotair with or without simple preheater, are more experienced, have more skills, than advanced service engineers, because they are certified, qualified only to push buttons, to start or stop BGA profile procedure on their advanced bga stations/machines. So the real skills and experience is when you do it manually but with success, using basic tools.💪
Sir, can you plz say where we can find these engineers nearby can we use any online website for get to know these engineers exists in nearby areas so where I can find them
@kurtstone1272 im sure with experience he is minicking the heat profile , you dont need to set your hot air station to change temps , the distance of the nozzle is the key.
As of today I will NOT throw away any LED TV mainboard no matter how expensive it is. Hugely grateful to you for sharing this knowledge with us, another way of saying it, clients and TV workshops, we both benefited. A huge congratulations. I didn't see the scale thumbs up x 1Mega: I would have chosen it! A brotherly greeting from Mexico.
@Mr Guru Custom? I like "exclusively for us" better. I understand... for example, Samsung uses its own CPU in its mainboards for its different models and screen sizes and the same is done by other well-known manufacturers. These ICs are not available for sale to the public or with their authorized distributor so that you are forced to buy the complete card and for that same reason I will not find them with any Chinese supplier but as we know what they are capable of ( excellent copiers) I still hold out hope. By the way, alibaba: what does it mean in the literature? For now, I'll have to keep buying the complete PCBs from shopjimmy. Thank you very much for locating me with your answer and I say it with absolute sincerity and since I'm talking about it, I always read your comments, very accurate by the way. An affectionate greeting to Australia.
Incredibly well done! 2 times!! I've watched so many channels saying it was impossible without a specific machine. SO MANY. This is the first time I've seen someone doing it successfully! Well done!
@ Fabrice: It's also the first time I've seen a youtuber soldering that kind of IC without the expensive specialized machine. Awesome! Masterful work of welding technique in microelectronics at an average cost that any workshop can afford. Master Sorin has left me silent and reflecting, that is to say, speechless! All the best.
@Mr Guru I've seen a Californian from a county near LA do that on cell phones and laptop motherboards using hot tweezers and mesh to clean up the traces and since he's an authorized dealer for Amtech flux of course he also promotes its use. On the other hand, I have seen a British man who humiliated another fellow countryman of his (I admire the latter) who owns the specialized machine for BGA and even fixed a PS5 mainboard CPU sent to him by a native youtuber from Oregon, USA and at the same time, he also used his well-known "jokes" in the video. Once again, and I say it with absolute frankness, I thank you for your answer because that way, with our comments, we also learn. An affectionate greeting from Mexico.
Even though I don't yet understand much of what Sorin does, I am drawn to a man who loves the smell of summer rain on hot pavement... nothing better. Such a conscious soul has much to to teach me about electronics and life.
Hey Sorin Well done. I've tried the same proccess with regular hot air gun and 50 percent of the times i tried i was successful. I think it depends on the hit air machine and the size of the board itself. I have to say i was amazed with the little time it took for you to take out the dead chip your hot air machine is quite powerful
Wow, that's amazing. Chip replacement without a BGA machine seemed impossible to me. This may be the only video of replacing chip without BGA machine. Hats off to you......looking forward to replacing a CPU video in same way.... Great
I find the type of criticism you get actually shows something positive, most of your audience are actual technicians, your content is helping business. Is just that some times we get spoiled by technology and we forget that back in the day people like you did jobs like this with less than a hot air machine.
There is the reason I am following , because, I see you learned with the life, you not have everything "free" and you learn with the fights from your live and the problem's you solve without the right tools , this person's like you the right place it not on TH-cam but like a teacher OR make training classes... I now it possible because i make the same in ps5 consoles from Controller ssd , in my pace the boss order a 5000 euro machine with alignment, but the time I am lost I am prefere solder by and (time in Switzerland it is very expensive)... well done MASTER.
I'm happy too, that shows me, I'm not wasting my time watching your videos but, I'm watching vídeos from a real expert.... Thanks!! From Dominican Repúblic.
Felicitari Sorin. Pe viitor incearca sa intinzi fluxul chiar si cu degetul. Un film subtire este de ajuns altfel incepe sa pluteasca dupa cum s-a vazut…si stiai asta 😊
Just when I was lamenting on how to get money to buy an expensive bga reballing machine, Sorin comes to save the day. This is wonderful! Thank you Sorin.
I purchased two Super IO chips from that shop. They preprogram them and ensure functionality. I would absolutely recommend that shop; they're absolutely fantastic! On another note, that's really just another form of art that you can install a new PCH on a motherboard without a reball station. I always thought it was possible but I've just never seen anyone do it. I challenge you to do it with a CPU.....
Great video. I am in the situation that I need to replace a PCH (Platform Hub Controller) Intel B360 on an expensive NAS and your video will be handy. My top rated smell is also the one in the streets after a quick summer rain followed by smell from fresh cut spruce wood (brad alb) and fresh cut grass/hay.
The biggest issue with replacing larger chips like that, this way, is bending the fiberglass due to the rapid heat. Best heating the board up using a heat mat then use the hot air. That's what BGA reball stations do well. Good job Sorin
Great job🤝👏👏👏 is a perfect example that good and expensive tools are not everything if you do not have experience and the best tools will not help greetings from Poland👍👍👍👍👋👋👋👋👋Tomorrow it's coffee time 🤗
Nice job Sorin, always makes me smile when you succeed where others fail. Have you ever considered buying a heat plate to bring the whole board temperature up so you can spend less time with the hot air in one area
Wow! Masha Allah! I can't imagine the joy you had doing this job successfully. I don't know how many years of experience and knowledge is needed to perform a job like this, this seemlessly.
One thing you could do is make a frame for the chip so it is directly above where it should be, out of metal: so the chip does not slide off the target. Heavy enough and taped in place. Makes the soldering easier and with a tiny bit of free play. The containment could be on two opposite corners.
@Mr Guru It has, because all Intel SoCs and PCHs starting since haswell support boot guard, and I believe that starting since 6th generation, most laptop manufacturers enabled bootguard which writes a public key to PCH upon first boot, and it stays there with no way to reset it. Which means used chips are useless, unless you find one that came from same laptop manufacturer board or even model. And since used chips are useless, there is no need to reball it.
@Mr Guru Just search official documents about bootguard from Intel, they explain how it works in detail. Proving that boot guard is enabled on most laptops is hard, but you can use tools like AIDA64 which would tell you if boot guard is configured without disassembling BIOS and checking it with Flash Image tools or whatever. Id like to put links, but they would get deleted.
Reflow machine varies the temp carefully to avoid cracked crystalline balls which MAY occur when a job is done this way although this was a brilliant job by Sorin and first go too!! His experience counts and when reflowing with a hot air a frozen chip works too as he has shown in the past but may only last a short time. Perhaps talk about reflow heating times and why that may leave do a better job than using just hot air and leaving dodgy balls perhaps? If you could move the gun slowly up to the board then after flow, slowly away so s not to shock from dropping temp. Just some thoughts to do best job if using hand air.
29:06 "I am really sorry-n if I give you the impression that actually I am experimenting with customer job, but actually not. I know exactly what is going on here" all with a "dodgy" smile. Hahaha
Wonderful job! It would be even easier if you cleaned the old solder balls from the board and if you used less flux. The chip was floating on flux and sliding of off old solder balls :) Keep up the good work!!
Thank you 👊. Much respect to you. And I'm really looking forward to the CPU soldering. Based on this one, I'm pretty sure you'll nail it too InshaAllah.
mia placut metoda cu rezistenta,in acea vreme am facut si eu tot din rezistenta dar am bagat-o intr-o pompa de fludor de aluminiu si am pus un cooler mic deasupra succes mai departe👍
i saw last vid then found this in your channel you force me join and follow you i not as you -my father was - love see my friends do same i say with all respect to you sir you are right and your way-tools- when sharing your experience is very good brilliant hope you always fine good luck 🙂 👍
Nice job Sorin. Did you clear ME region in bios?? If not, the laptop will always turn on with a delay. Check in the bios if the board had Boot Guard enabled, if so, you should disable it for the new PCH.
@Marek that is true. I have reflashed the Bios once without clean ME. It took almost twice as long to start the laptop, but no other issues. So I wonder if that is the inly drawback, maybe clean ME region is not necessary at all.
Hey Sorin, well done on the PCH replacement. My only concern with this is to how long the fix would last. is this sort of fix good for the long term or is this video just for demonstration?
Hi Sorin, what if the chip you're needing to replace have other chips on the other side of the board? So the heat from the back approach wouldn't be possible, what to do then? Would need a preheater or something? Thanks so much for all your knowledge sharing and for your videos. I found your channel recently and became a HUGE fan of your work and teachings! Best regards from Brazil!
Not my experience, I had a blow away from the top even :). Practice I suppose. I bought some yellow tape I thought was against heat but it just melts. Looks like it was on the big chips in the video, perhaps the tape is crap
To someone who puts it all on the line, despite the doubters and naysayers, and yet maintains so much humility, you have my utmost respect.
The guy in China told Sorin he needed to improve his soldering skills. Now that is funny. The guy didn't know he was dealing with the master of solder. Great job and thank you for sharing as always!
if this man isn't the very definition of an artist, then I don't know what is. a great lesson in humility and know-how. my best regards!
Congratulations Sorin! 😍
One thing has to be pointed out: people who do bga chipset/gpu/memory replacement using only hotair with or without simple preheater, are more experienced, have more skills, than advanced service engineers, because they are certified, qualified only to push buttons, to start or stop BGA profile procedure on their advanced bga stations/machines.

Sir, can you plz say where we can find these engineers nearby can we use any online website for get to know these engineers exists in nearby areas so where I can find them
Sorin is good, but without having a heat profile through a machine who knows how long that'll last
@kurtstone1272 im sure with experience he is minicking the heat profile , you dont need to set your hot air station to change temps , the distance of the nozzle is the key.
APPLAUSE! awesome you pulled that off. Even swapping a chip twice. Almost couldn;t believe it was possible.

I watched the previous video on this PCH replacement and now this one. YOU ARE A LEGEND! Like and scubscribe immediately!
Master Sorin, always believed you could pull off such difficult jobs. Well done 👏🏽
Great video. Try using flux on 3 sides to allow air bubbles to escape without lifting the chip.
Incredible skills Sorin. I'm so pleased you repaired it.
I'm happy too, that shows me, I'm not wasting my time watching your videos but, I'm watching vídeos from a real expert.... Thanks!! From Dominican Repúblic.
without a bga station you are really a master in your job
sorin, you are the best... i'am waiting for that cpu reballing, only hot air machine... ;) greatting from protugal ;)
good job, pro hand, when i saw the flux quantity on 10:06 i confirmed the chip will moved
Ahhhh...Master Sorin...you rang the bells..fragrance of rain in summer.....I literally forgot video and was in my childhood....❤
Felicitari Sorin. Pe viitor incearca sa intinzi fluxul chiar si cu degetul. Un film subtire este de ajuns altfel incepe sa pluteasca dupa cum s-a vazut…si stiai asta 😊
Hey Uncle Sorin ...you know what ???!!! "THIS CALLED THE MAGIC TOUCH FROM SORIN" .!!!!! AMAZING !!!!
Just when I was lamenting on how to get money to buy an expensive bga reballing machine, Sorin comes to save the day. This is wonderful! Thank you Sorin.
I though rosin smell would be your third choise! 😂 Thank s for this demonstration, long life to this computer ❤
Sorin you a Master of Elektronics. 😃
I purchased two Super IO chips from that shop. They preprogram them and ensure functionality.
I would absolutely recommend that shop; they're absolutely fantastic!
On another note, that's really just another form of art that you can install a new PCH on a motherboard without a reball station. I always thought it was possible but I've just never seen anyone do it.

My top rated smell is also the one in the streets after a quick summer rain followed by smell from fresh cut spruce wood (brad alb) and fresh cut grass/hay.
the bottom is for preheating, the top for hot gun or whatever used to heat up and melt the solder. This arrangement of renetworking stations.
Really really best teacher ever ❤
The biggest issue with replacing larger chips like that, this way, is bending the fiberglass due to the rapid heat. Best heating the board up using a heat mat then use the hot air. That's what BGA reball stations do well. Good job Sorin
you never miss solder welding Sorin . i dont know who say you that but . i never never see you miss weld solder
impresive ,as a person who seen all your videos this one is chosen loved it
Another Great Job! Well done. Sorin
Great job🤝👏👏👏 is a perfect example that good and expensive tools are not everything if you do not have experience and the best tools will not help greetings from Poland👍👍👍👍👋👋👋👋👋Tomorrow it's coffee time 🤗
Hey! I just watched your video on how to replace the chipset PCH with hot air. This is really great
good job, waiting for cpu/pch in one package using your hot air
excellent job.respect to the professor.
Congratulations Sorin i know how it feels when you fix something that is hard from the beginning❤🎉
Nice job Sorin, always makes me smile when you succeed where others fail. Have you ever considered buying a heat plate to bring the whole board temperature up so you can spend less time with the hot air in one area
he has used a little space heater to warm the board.
Wow! Masha Allah!
I can't imagine the joy you had doing this job successfully. I don't know how many years of experience and knowledge is needed to perform a job like this, this seemlessly.
One thing you could do is make a frame for the chip so it is directly above where it should be,
out of metal: so the chip does not slide off the target. Heavy enough and taped in place. Makes

corners.
Now, I know why u don't use lots of flux. You are amazing!
Felicitari Sorine. Te urmaresc in continuare cu placere.
Thanks Sorin for the good video.
Master class and you silenced your critics. I am surprised lol you did not mention the smell of rosin😊
well done. My concern is often there are many parts on the other side of the board underneath the Chip set.
Great job Sorin and congrats to the owner
That is some insane skill. On factory lead-free balls too.
I should get some old laptops or idk and see if I can do it.
@Mr Guru Not sure about that, because used PCH or CPU(SoC one) might have boot guard initialized and wont work.
@Mr Guru It has, because all Intel SoCs and PCHs starting since haswell support boot guard, and I believe that starting since 6th generation, most laptop manufacturers enabled bootguard which writes a public key to PCH upon first boot, and it stays there with no way to reset it.

Id like to put links, but they would get deleted.
Amazing job, that's why I like all your videos.
Beautiful piece of work. Bravo!
Bravo as you say, you need to have a lot of practice with the hot air unit from the back of the PCB, it is possible to prove it.
Reflow machine varies the temp carefully to avoid cracked crystalline balls which MAY occur when a job is done this way although this was a brilliant job by Sorin and first go too!! His experience counts and when reflowing with a hot air a frozen chip works too as he has shown in the past but may only last a short time.

Wonderful job!
It would be even easier if you cleaned the old solder balls from the board and if you used less flux. The chip was floating on flux and sliding of off old solder balls :)
Keep up the good work!!
Bravo bravo bravo Sorin!!!

Excellent Work Sorin!
Incredible! Thank you Sorin!
Amazing tutorial. Thanks!
Hi Sorin thank u for this great job.I'm waiting for CPU soldering 😊.

No extra solder? None of the small components on back of board blew off?? Amazing! Nice fix.
the chip is already reball, no need extra solder
@@maklogetrich2378 Thanks!
Very nice video please send more of your video I have so much thanks very much bro
Hey Sorin, well done on the PCH replacement. My only concern with this is to how long the fix would last. is this sort of fix good for the long term or is this video just for demonstration?
Well done best teacher but have a question what is the air flow speed ????
How come the components on the other side of the board doesn't get unsoldered and move or fall off?
Hi Sorin, what if the chip you're needing to replace have other chips on the other side of the board? So the heat from the back approach wouldn't be possible, what to do then? Would need a preheater or something? Thanks so much for all your knowledge sharing and for your videos. I found your channel recently and became a HUGE fan of your work and teachings! Best regards from Brazil!
Sorin you are #1
Thank you very much for the video! It helped me a lot! Appreciate the effort to fix this laptop.
Will heating the board from underneath work on pc motherboard or is pc motherboard to thick
Good job sorine ... I think it's only possible if u got chip with balling ....need advice.. tq
take my like SORIN!!!!!
That's a tough one sorin
Tried to replace cpu from the bottom and burned the motherboard. I’m excited to see how you will do it
Mystery
Now I'm excited to try a cpu swap ... probably without a reballing this can't be done.... but I will try.
Wow amazing
Hi Sorin. You said before, wick wire is dangerous for cleaning soldier from board. But now you did it with wick wire. why?
Congratulations 👏🎉👏.
You are the best
Awesome, i love your videos, hope i am going at some point have those skills too
amazing you replace pch with a BGA machine I can't believe it.😲😲
Amazing! But how do you prevent parts to fall off on the backside where you apply heat? thanks again for sharing !
They will not fall, unless are very big pieces, but a resistor or something like that will stay on his place
@@leerzeichen1910 yes that’s what I noticed when replacing ps5 hdmi connector with heating backside
dont touch the board and nothing will fall off
Not my experience, I had a blow away from the top even :). Practice I suppose. I bought some yellow tape I thought was against heat but it just melts. Looks like it was on the big chips in the video, perhaps the tape is crap
That golden tape .
