Reballing Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 DUAL-X - R9 280X GPU With Homemade BGA Rework Station And Low Cost Equipment.
This video is showing you how to repair graphics cards AMD-ATI Radeon or Nvidia with BGA problem.
Why Reballing ? The graphics chip is soldered to the board with hundreds small solder balls (BGA) and one or more solder joints crack with time due to the thermal cycle which creates thermal stress (contraction and expansion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_stress) and the graphics card stops working, old thermal paste or paste 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 board and the graphics card works again.
I prefer reballing over reflow because reflow is not a long term solution and the black screen or artifacts will return again soon, reballing is more reliable and is the preferred GPU repair method.

@0mnisenseمنذ 4 سنواتYou deserve round of applause for the level technical wizardry that goes into your videos, not many folks appreciate Support and troubleshooting work as they do not see the incredible process behind it 8

@dalieuمنذ 3 سنواتI have watched lots of videos of people disassembling graphics cards and heat gunning their GPUs, but this is the only channel I have seen someone desolder id="hidden4" class="buttons"> a GPU and then reball it on a homemade reballing station. This video is amazing and I am impressed (and I'm not easily impressed). Huge respect to your abilities. ....وسعت

@
@snowstar3560منذ 3 سنواتYou guys want to know how to prevent BGA balls from cracking or detaching on a GPU? Just water cool the card or get a massive heatsink or save and spend id="hidden5" class="buttons"> a bit more on third-party GPU with beefy coolers, that way you avoid the condition that causes the aforementioned problem and reballing in the first place, thermal cycle/stress. ....وسعت3

@
@MrLukealbaneseمنذ 4 سنواتNik, these videos are fantastic. Let me ask you though, is there a reason that you prefer the solder balls to using solder paste with the stencils?
@
@salsabilhana9445منذ 6 سنواتyou are really a pro Nik, salute.. by the way why you have to remove the stencil while it still hot, what happen if we remove it when become cool, does it will sticky? (from my experience before) or any reason?

@ClaudioFontachannelمنذ 6 سنواتthanks very detailed and complete video. how many watts the power of iron for cleaning the pads?
@
@Joligo60منذ 6 سنواتHello Nik, how are you? I really appreciate your videos. I would like to ask about the profile you use. I believe that your profile sets some target temperatures id="hidden8" class="buttons"> and that to reach them you use different ramps. How many seconds do you stay in each target temperature reached? or you go straight from room temperature to the final profile temperature. Hugs. (I'm in Brazil). ....وسعت

@
@mosfet6402منذ 5 سنواتHi, first I want to say congratulation for the fine job, my question is about which temperatures are suggested to don't damage the pad traces, I have id="hidden10" class="buttons"> tried yesterday from the first time a reballing and I have damaged the pad in different points, in your video is the Video card at Ambient temperature or pre heated ?? And yor Tip at which temp works??? Hope to hear from your before destroy other gpu pads trying to remove the soldering :( ....وسعت

@ironnokana6760منذ 6 سنواتYour video is the only one im looking for,other video shown they have rebailed but it doesnt show installing driver,otherwise your video shown with driver installed proof ;3(sry bad english)
@
@GeorgeGeorge-xj2bcمنذ 6 سنواتOne question about the upper heating temperature.Maybe 225 celsius in needed the solder to melt but these boards are monsters and the chip is under metal id="hidden12" class="buttons"> casing so i never have managed to desolder a chip in that temperature without going up to 260 C or little more in many cases.Machine is IR6000. ....وسعت

@kavan8888منذ 3 سنواتI have the same exact problem with the exact same card. Works ok, after loading drivers, get a black screen. Before the issue happened, it was id="hidden13" class="buttons"> running ok until I saw some green artificats, so restarted the PC and faced the issue. ....وسعت

@press_button_for_assistanceمنذ 6 سنواتHi. I have a Sapphire 7970 with a blown capacitor. I can't get the old caps out and have new caps waiting to be installed.
