Reballing Asus X72D With DIY BGA Rework Station

  • How to Reball Asus X72D X72DR using low cost equipment, i reballed this laptop about 3,5 years ago and now i have to reball it again :/ the laptop shows a black screen.
    The owner is gaming with this laptop and the thermal stress causes the BGA to fail, i hope this repair will also last a couple of years :)
    Why Reballing ? The chip is soldered to the motherboard with many small solder balls (BGA) and one ore more solder joints crack with time due to the thermal cycle which creates thermal stress (contraction and expansion en.wikipedia.o...) and the laptop stops working, old thermal paste-pad or paste-pad with bad heat conductivity and clogged cooler increase the thermal stress, with this procedure we replace the solder balls and resolder the chip to the motherboard and the laptop works again.

    Hi, Nik. Thanks for all explanations! My 8 years asus i7 N76VZ is rebailing at this moment on repair shop. I have a doubt. What is the average span life after this kind of service? Because price rebailing, I am think sell it after fixed to avoid this kind of problem again soon. Thanks from Brasil.

      Hello, there is no specific answer to this question, some laptops work even for more than 5 years some don't last a year,
      what i found is that reducing the thermal stress helps a lot, keep the cooling system clean from dust, use a good thermal paste/thermal pad and don't play games and overheat it (laptops cooling systems usually lag in performance).

    • @NikTelio
      @NikTelio  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi, the graphics chip and the heatsink have about 1mm gap between them, i can not use paste to fill this gap, it wont have a good heat conductivity and the gpu will overheat, thermal pads are also not very good heat conductors and in time they dry out and if you do not change the pad frequently the graphics chip will overheat and fail, copper has high heat conductivity and this is why i use it.

    If you use either heat resistant foil tape or Kapton on the metal frames you removed from the bottom of the m/b, will that be enough to protect that area? Thanks
    Also, is it more economical to replace the GPU chip? Thanks Nik

    • @NikTelio
      @NikTelio  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      New GPU chips are expensive and it does not worth to be replaced in most cases,
      heat resistant materials like kapton and aluminium tapes are used to protect some sensitive to heat components (if needed), in most cases i do not use them, if you use a bga rework station to do the repairs the temperatures are precise and the risk damaging the components is small.

    Hi, very good job.
    I've two asus x72 with black screens.
    One started up again after reflow in oven, 3 years later black screen again, i will try to reball it without great hope, but i will try to test.
    For the second laptop, black screen also but i didn't try anything (no oven, no reflow, nothing). I just cleaned it and changed themal paste.
    Shall i try a reflow with hot air gun or shall I will try a reball ?
    What temperature shall i try to reflow ? 210-220 °C ? Shall i try AMD chipset first (because pad thermal) ? i will replace pad thermal by heatsink copper as you did.
    In case of reball, can you tell me what kind of reball did you use ? lead free (SnAgCu) ou SnPb balls ?
    thks in advance
    Regards

      Hello, i just read your massage, i did not get a notification.
      if you do not have much experience with reballing then i suggest to reflow again but use a heatgun or a bga rework station this time and use some flux like the amtech 559, i do not like the oven method because every time you reflow using the oven it shortens the life of the capacitors and they will fail eventually,
      the leadfree solder melts at 220c, you must reach about 240c max for a proper reflow,
      you need to reflow only the small bga chip the one that has the thermal pad on it, same one that i reball in the video.
      for reballing i use leaded solder balls Sn63Pb37, (this leaded solder melts at 182c)

    Awesome! you got a new subscriber. i work in a store which i repair mainly desktops, and when i have some notebooks with the same problem, i usually don't know what to do and send the problem to other company which is expensive. how can i test if a chipset is bad without removing? like with multimeter i can test something?

    • @NikTelio
      @NikTelio  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Felipe and thank you, you can not test a bga chip with a multimeter, the usual cause of bga failure is clogged cooler and old-bad thermal paste-pad, that means that the graphics chip or northbridge overheated and needs to be repaired, many bga chips require good cooling but the cooler design is bad and usually they use thermal pads on bga chips which are bad heat conductors and the chips overheat causing the bga to fail with time, there are some tricks that you can do to find out if the bga chip is the problem like activating the laptop while applying a bit of pressure to the board beneath the bga chip and see the reaction or do this trick: th-cam.com/video/eA1qsnRuS_Q/w-d-xo.html

    • @felfelix
      @felfelix 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      i see, thank you for the response. also, i have one question. You said that you can't test bga chip with multimeter, but can i test in other chips? like, i bought a damaged notebook (the seller didn't mentioned before) and i won't power on, i tested with other power supply and nothing happened. Is there a way to test if the motherboard is getting energy from the power supply? sorry if i am little noob haha

    • @NikTelio
      @NikTelio  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi, if you don't know much about electronics then the only thing that you can do with a multimeter is to check if power gets to the motherboard, check if there are solder cracks on the power plug and measure the voltage, if power gets to the motherboard then it needs someone experienced to find the problem, could be a bad VRM or bad EC controller

    how important are those cool-down fans ? If i don't use them what would happen?, is it possible to end up with a warped board because of not using cool-down fans?

    • @NikTelio
      @NikTelio  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      the fans are very important, if the board is left to cool down by itself without fans then the liquid solder will turn to solid very slowly and this will probably create cold solder joints, the rate of cool down is 3-5 °C/Sec

    i want to ask the basic profile for reballing, it's written 200°C, did you turn on the bottom heater & upper heater together (same time) and the temp is 200 (bh) & 200 (up) or with interval between them? thanks for your repply, greeting from indonesia :)
    ps. one more thing, everytime i used direct heat stencil, the stencil always lifted up (bending) in the center when i reflow it with hot air so the tiny solder ball get messed, whats wrong with that based on your experience. thank you

    • @NikTelio
      @NikTelio  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello, the 200-210°C profile is the pcb temp not the heaters, before starting the profile i manually activate the bottom heater and give it a head start 150-200°C (lets call it preheating) then i start the profile, my pid controller has only one output and both heaters work together, on my rework station i build a max temp thermostat for the bottom heater (a rotary button on the right side 280/300/320/340°C) this means that the bottom heater will stop at selected temp (280°C for leaded) and stay there while the upper heater reaches the same temp as the bottom heater and continues to heat more as needed (controlled by pid controller) to folow the time-temp graph until the pcb reaches ~210°C
