    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

        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...

        Gaming Laptop Zephyrus S17 TFT not detected every time !
        by titomno2
        Hi guys,
        I post my problem here because I think it could be a capacitor related issue (Asus support on this particular subject is non-existing).
        So the computer is a Zephyrus-S17-GX735LXS-26T and the strange behavior is seen.
        On cold start most of the time the internal screen is detected and a picture it works fine until shutdown, sleep or deep sleep.
        Then the screen won't work for a long period of time.
        If I wait 1 or 2 hours it work again most of the time.
        When it doesn't work the batterie indicator blink 3 times white stop and the same schematic is repeated...

        ESR meter came to the rescue again today with a PLC I/O card fault
        by sam_sam_sam
        I have been having a fun time at work with two pieces of equipment that had shorted components or shorted component cables to machine frame
        I would check what my multi meter was telling me about how many ohms I getting with the multi meter was telling versus the ESR was telling me about weather or not it really was a short to machine ground or not

        One note at first we thought that it might be a bad I/O card or a malfunction PLC including me as well but I thought I would try and see if removing the I/O cables would make a difference or not and this time it did make a difference...
