What exactly are you doing? I have no idea what reballing means.

a fix for YLOD. if im not mistaken most shop are using reflowing method. we are using reball. our shop normally do GPU repairs for macbook. this picture is my 4th reball work for ps3.

some other problems that is related to GPU are ps3 slim with display problem such are this.

Reballing involves in replacing the old solder joints with premade solder balls. It could be done with BGA and solder paste but i dont think it'll be advisable. It could be leaded or lead free.

Usually reballing are done with better setups and much more expensive like what u see above in his worklogs.It's foiled on all chips to prevent the infra heat from dmgin other components.

It could also be accomplish by heatguns.

But the result would most likely be the same. Once u remove the chip from the board by heat, the problem wont go away. It'll return.

Thanks for the info!

you use the term wrong. BGA is the method on how the chip is soldered to the board.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_grid_array

on small chip like handphones you can use a heatgun. but for processor, YOU CAN'T use a heatgun for reballing process. (i dont think i need to go in details why)

*all electronics that is using BGA method is prone to broke by time. its part of big company biz plans so consumer would consume more of their product.

*the result is not the same as doing reflow, different types of solder is replaced. which is more tolerant to heat.
expect the lifespan more than 1 year.

*reballing is the ONLY method of processor repair that is suggested by microsoft, gigabyte and nvidia.

where can i send my ps3 for reballing?

Pm me details:price, warranty, location.
Thanks

this is high tech shit.. next time when my ps3 and macbook got problem sure will find you.. but how long can it last? and what is the price?

not really a high tech stuff honestly. my shop is just small. we actually do just reballing most of the time.
we do contract for repairing GPU on macbook.

small workplace really.


for macbook pro repairs we have a very high success rate.




Price for PS3 reball is rm350
take note if the gpu is dead because of too much reflowing you need to change a new GPU, and that cost an extra rm120.
*this what happen when you have HEATGUNNERS.



waranty : 3 month. if YLOD occurs too many times during this 3 month (which i doubt it will happen). we will refund you back rm200.

location: Puncak alam.. if too far you can always post it, it cost around rm30.
