BGA Rework Norwich
BGA Rework and Reballing
Since 2007 manufactures have been forced to use Lead Free solder when building there products. This causes issues for all new gadgets of today.
Lead free solder is very temperamentle to thermal stress, Constant heat and cooling cycles causes stress and eventually leads to cracks within the solder joints,unfotunately these cracks are usually located under or within bga components, making it very hard to get to and fix.
Equiptment that is prone to BGA Failure
HP laptops
IBM Thinkpads Laptops
Playstation 3 Consoles
Playstation 4 Consoles
Xbox Consoles,
Sony Vaio laptops
Compaq Laptops
Apple MACBooks
Acer Laptops
PC Motherboards
Hi End Graphics Cards
Even Smartphones
Here at needpcrepair, we have the knowledge and equipment to repair these issues at the highest level,
we can reball and re-weld any BGA chip down to 0.3mm. Talk about precision engineering!
The Process
Remove All outer casing of product down to board level.
Clean off excessive dust and wipe with alchohol
Maintaining precise heat profiles, while protecting other components
Remove the BGA Chips from the circuit boards using hi tech Dark Infrared machinery
Clean off Lead Free solder from BGA Chip and circuit board
Replace the minute solder balls with leaded solder.
Re-Weld to the circuit board using the same specialist equipment.
Apply either Gold Standard or Arctic silver thermal past for better heat transfer
Replacing the chips with leaded solder increases the life span of your equiptment as it is not as succeptable to heat cycles as lead free solder
