    How to create a profile for ACHI IR PRO SR (my first time with BGA machine)

    Hi everyone, I recently purchased a BGA machine (ACHI IR PRO SR, 2400W IR Bottom and 450w IR Upper) but I don't know how to create the processing profiles. I need to desolder a faulty GPU on a laptop.

    As software I was thinking of using this:

    Can anyone tell me the most suitable or common heating curves for soldering and desoldering?
    Thank you​

    Everyone has to build their own reflow profile based on their geographic location. My desert dwelling profile might now work well for someone in a high humidity location.

    I can give you a couple of my lead free profiles. The very first thing you need to do is bake the board to remove any moisture in it. 100C for 24-48 hours is recommended. If you have moisture in the chip or board is will cause delamination. The higher your normal humidity the longer you want to bake the board for.

    Pb Free without IHS (200-210 bottom heater)
    R1 1.0 L1 90 D1 80
    R2 1.0 L2 150 D2 55
    R3 1.0 L3 205 D3 40
    R4 1.0 L4 229 D4 90
    R5 END
    Hb 60

    This is a new one I made for Pb Free WITH an IHS (210-220 bottom heater). This profile allows the bottom heater to heat over 150C before the top heater kicks in.
    R1 STEP L1 0 D1 90
    L2 90 D2 40
    L3 150 D3 30
    L4 190 D4 30
    L5 220 D545
    L6 230 D6 60
    L7 END
    Hb 60

    Be careful about using too much bottom heat. Ive seen people claim to use 280C for the bottom which is way too hot IMO but it could just be their machine works and measures differently. I measure the board with direct contact thermocouples on both sides.

    Get a dead board or one that you dont mind killing. Run the base profile and monitor when your machine hits what temps and how long it held there until the next level started. Customize your profile based off that. Ramp up heat>hold for heat soak>ramp up to next temp>hold for soak>when its done cool off at 2-3C per second.. Search google for reflow profiles and youll find some engineering sites that will show you what stages should look like.

        CPU socket replacement soldering profile
        by Geomih
        Hi All - I am hoping someone can help with some pointers (complete noob here!)

        I have recently purchased a Scotle HR460 BGA reball machine (it's a bit old and I think the company no longer exists either), but as far as I can tell it is a competent and unmolested machine that should be good enough for my needs.
        My biggest problem is that it came with no profiles, and I must re-create all of them from scratch, something that is very scary for someone that doesn't really know what they are doing.
        The simple stuff like a small memory module isn't a big deal because there are

        Illy Y5 coffee machine - touch buttons broken and need repair
        by double_DD
        Hi all,

        First and foremost, I'd like to wish everyone here a happy and successful new 2026!

        Now, let's dive into my current issue. Once again I'm stuck and would like some advices from someone smarter than me.

        I have this coffee machine, Illy Y5, that has a glass top with fancy touch controls. Something was wrong with it, and in the process of multiple openings and closings I managed to break the ribbon connecting the buttons to the circuit board. And as luck usually goes, this happened just a few days after we ordered a new batch of capsules for it. :/...

        Janome DC3050 Sewing Machine Pedal Resistance
        by CG2
        OK, this is a long shot. I got this sewing machine cheap because it's end of line, ex-display, and had no pedal. The genuine pedal costs £60, while Ebay knock-offs go for around £15. So I went for the knock-off, it doesn't work, and I'm not sure whether it's the pedal or the sewing machine that has the problem.

        Now this is an electronic machine, unlike the old fashioned sort where the pedal was a big resistor in series with the power to the motor. Here, the pedal is just (I think) a variable resistor fed with a 5 volt supply, and limited to a current of 5 milliamps. Assuming that...

        Siemens Washing Machine WM12T581TR/67 Touch Panel not working correctly
        by alpersen
        On the right bottom side it has a start/stop button (normally it is illuminated, when I took the picture it was blinking I took at the wrong time ). and the touch area there is not working, maybe if I am able to touch the most right bottom in a maybe 1 square millimeter area it works. also generally if I touch the normal place where the start stop icon is, the weight + and - areas register so there is a touch calibration problem in that area. All icons maybe 60% of the left side register correctly in their respective size. Siemens service recommends replacing the control pcb and screen (nearly...
