      Re: Question about solder paste vs solder balls

      I think solder paste is easier to work with, since it's essentially many small balls suspended in flux. It sticks easily and the flux helps a lot in making a proper solder bond. You do need to keep in mind that it has less actual solder in it because flux makes up a large part of the volume.

      As for longevity, it shouldn't matter if a proper solder bond is formed. Flux helps a lot.

              Guide to transplant MEC1503 EC chip and EEPROM reprogamming for T14s gen 2 and X13 gen 2
              by acedogblast
              This is a guide that I am writing for helping others to replace their MEC1503 EC chip if it breaks (or to get around an inconvenient prompt to the BIOS). This forum has been extremely helpful to me so I would like to contribute to help others. I will tell you right now that this task is very difficult to do. You MUST have experience and tools to do precision micro-soldering, BGA reballing, trace repair, and general laptop repair skills.

              There are some specialty tools needed to do this task. The replacement MEC1503 chips can be acquired from Aliexpress. Do not buy the bare chips as...

              Solder paste recommendations please
              by dicky96
              Hi guys. Well I thought solder paste was just solder paste but apparently not

              I watched this short video

              https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSb1fgCMUug

              I want to try solder paste for resoldering BGA chips and LGA sockets as I am having no luck at the moment. I have no problem safely removing the old part, it's getting the replacement one to solder which is where I am going wrong. The Type 5 solder paste link he gives in the above video says it is not available.

              I want to use the paste like in the video on this thread

              BGA solder balls not connecting - help pls
              by petemanuk
              So I though in my spare time I’d set myself up repairing motherboards mainly pin damaged lga1151 sockets types.

              I’m using an achi ir sc pro rework station (gave up on my Achie ir6500 - don’t recommend)

              I’ve managed to get my rework profile somewhere in the correct region (after a lot of trial and error) to get the old sockets off and reflow new ones back on again, the problems I’m getting is not all of the solder balls are re-attaching when re-flow occurs. I know this because when socket is removed pads still look clean and have no solder...

              Concerns before attempting a Reflow of Laptop's GPU
              by Mr_Nada
              I saw some posts at one point talking about doing a reflow but I couldn't find them again so I thought that I would post this here.

              I plan on reflowing the GPU of this old HP DV2500 laptop but I want to go over what I have and the steps I have to take to guarantee it will come out fine.

              I have a Yihua 8786D 2in1 Rework station, flux (just some paste that I got from an old Radioshack kit), a couple rolls of Kapton tape and a $15 Thermometer +probe (a TM902C from EMR shielding Solutions if its important).
              • The paper that came with the thermometer states that the probe

              Laptop overheating after replacement thermal paste
              by Veyron7887
              Hi. I have Asus X55C laptop from year 2013. It has i3-2328M CPU. I replaced stock thermal paste with high quality thermal paste. Before thermal paste replacement, I measured CPU temperature Around 65-70 degrees Celcius with stock thermal paste. If after the replace thermal paste, I measured CPU temperature around 80-84 degrees Celcius and fan don't stop when system is idle. I replaced the thermal paste several times but still did not change. Where is the problem?
