    Reflowing

    Has anyone seen a good guide/s on reflowing? ive been looking around a bit but most of the information is 50/50, seems like nobody WANTS to write a guide. if any of you guys have an idea on this, it would be extremely appreciated.

    Information is power $$$

    You'll probably never find a one-fit solution to reflowing/reballing as ALL components vary.

    The best way to learn it yourself is to buy yourself an IR/Reflow station and toy around settings.

    But if you go by theory (lead-free vs lead solder) you'll find "reflow/reball" profiles on the web.

    Achieving a profile curve, meanwhile, is an art...

      Not only that, temperatures and times you should use also vary according to your environment. Things such as humidity and room temperature, window positions, whether there's any AC or not in the room, do matter.

        Get the tools and play around

        I killed many BGA components when first learning! Too much heat, too long with heat, Not right curve, Not enough heat etc etc etc

        After much practice I can successfully reflow with hot air.... And for the first time managed to do a complete reball and flow using nothing but hot air and no templates, or balls, or anything else fancy No idea how much life the GPU has left now though! HAHA but thought id have fun trying it out
