    talk to me about BGA rework inspection stations

    Here's my story:

    I repair credit card terminals and I started playing around with upgrading the memory on a couple boards. I had never dealt with BGA chips before, so I was lost when I found that the chips I need to replace are BGA.

    Now I've done enough research to know what they are. I'm not sure on how the equipment works though. I know I need the endoscope vs xray. I know I don't need anything huge since the boards I work on are small (4" x 9"). But what do I need to be looking for?

    I already have an IR station and a hot air station. Can I just use those and and purchase a scope? Would an all in one station be better? How much better? What about for reballing? I want to keep the size and cost down until I'm sure this will be used a ton.I'm ok doing extra work to keep the price and size down but I need the work to be right.


    Thanks!

          Nice one he was kinda advertising his business I believe that this is against badcaps rules.

          I had a look into this a few months ago, I am unsure on the ebay ones if they are cheap.
          They had 53 stencils and a bga chip vice.

              It is indeed. The offending post was removed.
              I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

                  Thanks

                  I should have updated this thread anyways. I ended up sticking with my X-Tronic 5040 station for now but we did order the BGA300 inspection scope from SMT Tools. We also got the upgraded .5mm prism, software and reballing kit. That should be coming in this week. I've ran through a couple tests using the 5040 and it should do the job. I can keep the heat levels consistent to within +/-5 C.

                  I'm really excited to do a live run on this. Its going to be pretty interesting.

                      Seamark ZM-R6200 Rework station
                      by shahnld
                      Good day Experts.

                      I have recently aquired a rework station SEAMARK ZM-R6800,. Is there anyone using this or some other similar station and give me some info about profile temp curve etc for removing leadfree soldered gpu chip..? just 1 profile will be enough to get started.

                      Kind regards

                      Help with IR6500 rework station
                      by petemanuk
                      Hi,

                      I been playing with a recently acquired IR6500 rework station and watching lots of YouTube tutorials to see how to use it with not much success. I’ve only recently joined badcaps but going through the forums there is a lot of knowledge here, so though it best is if I ask my question here.

                      1. Firstly is the IR6500 any good for BGA rework or should I be spending my money on a better one.

                      2. The instruction manual is pretty useless on explaining how to set the PID loops (no information at all!!) both top and bottom heater for th Kp, Ki and Kd...

                      Yihua 992DA+ Hot air gun and soldering rework station, burnt mark
                      by Peter_1402
                      Hi Everyone,
                      I bought a Yihua 992DA+ hot air gun and soldering iron unit from a used market.
                      1. Soldering iron works great
                      2. There is a burnt mark on the hot air gun handle.
                      I am a bit concern by the look of the melted plastic. I opened the hot air gun handle and took some readings with a multimeter.
                      Heating element ~ 75ohm. (Similar reading taken from a spare heating element that came with the unit.)
                      Thermocouple ~ 1.5ohm. (Similar reading from the spare heating element.)
                      Reed switch tested ok with a magnet.
                      From the above test, I can conclude...
