Reballing With Low Cost/HomeMade Equipement

Bonus points for the Unreal soundtrack

Great job. With whole computers and laptops being seen as replaceable field units nowadays, its cool when someone goes back to basics and does the tech work themselves. Great effort. I was kinda nervous that it wasn't gonna work with all that effort you put in.

I have been in electronics a long long time but never attempted to reball. You are an expert to say the least, great video!!! I normally comment about people that don't talk during the videos but no words were needed in this one. 

Wow, Emanuele, I thought I was hard core doing basic SMD work at home... I bow to you... well done and I learned a lot...

Good job. Ignore the haters. They do not realise an infrared BGA reworkstation costs thousands and the little men can't afford that. Improvisation as shown here is excellent.

unreal tournament music! great video!

Man just wanna pay my deepest respect to you for taking the intuitive to do this shit. Realy man respect from Holland.

That is almost the entire Unreal Tournament 2000 soundtrack. Love that game!!! Fantastic job reballing.

Holy BGA Batman! This is the most "ballsie", "hardcore" board level repair I've ever seen. More balls than a pachinko machine. I get stressed inserting a 48 pin DIP. I would have never believed it unless I saw it for myself. I'm not familiar with BGA's.. but I"m assuming (hoping) that there are little divots or half round impressions that the solder balls roll into. Otherwise I would have not clue how the balls were aligned. And then to visually place the chip onto the board, no guid.. Wow.. Good job. I wouldn't worry about cost vs time. IMHO just being able to do it brings its own rewards. This would certainly make any other rework seem like child's play. Have no fear comes to mind. I do wonder why it was replaced. The real magic may be in the fact you knew it was defective :O) Cheers! And keep it up!

OK, now lets declare BGA as crime against humanity... >.<

The most amazing and professional video i had ever seen

Wow, impressive. Some real precision work. Very cool music too, made the video even better.

Super mad skills. I personally would have scraped the laptop.

Unreal music is good theme

Really phenomenal job. Cannot deny the skills.

Wow. That's some precision work there!

by noo means homemade - quite professional

thats skill

I was very impressed; being a former game repair center manager, the company I worked for would've never sprung for the equiptment that I needed to do a great job like you did. Thinking of investing in my own tools, I already have an infra-red toaster oven that I do minor repairs in, but going that extra mile seems to be the route that I have to take and why not do it properly.

Cant believe i watched someone really reball his graphics IC... Unbelievable!! Great work!
