I really admire your confidence when replacing that chip set.

Made bga soldering look easy. First time I see someone doing it at the manual station, standing ovation.

Hello Sorin, it's an excellent job, without having a reballing machine for this and doing it like you and that it turns out perfect, you're a great professional. Thank you very much for teaching us.

If you disconnect the screen from the motherboard the HDMI output will work before Windows loads. Well done Sorin this is a harder than it looks. Biggest challenge is getting a working chip.

I just love the way you work with explanation sir❤

Amazing work. Nothing short of amazing. People who are saying this was luck must have not see you doing it the first time. TWICE. I may never be able to do that. Well done!

[glazyrap]

you did amazing job, but my concern is that if you blowing air in so tight zone you can bend the board and after a while the balls between chip and board to unsoldering.
Sunt si eu tot roman, si te salut si mult respect pt ceea ce faci! Esti mentorul meu!

Excellent work Sorin! A human BGA machine 😀

I can’t believe how lucky you are!!! The shift pch did when it positioned itself shows me it was way off it desired position… judging by the 0.3mm balls on pch, it nearly impossible to not have solder bridges underneath it… lucky lucky lucky!

Nice job, Sorin ..but how do you manage to heat up the board so high from behind (on the spot) without being afraid that the components will fall down (a few resistors etc. could be seen there). And: do you have a jig to put the board on or do you have a table with a big hole that you blow the hot air stream through? During the soldering process you always only watch the board from above - how do you control the airflow from below at the same time when you have to be sure that it hits exactly where you want it? Well, soo many questions :)

On some laptops it may be possible to use the hdmi as the main screen (incl. bios etc) if u disconnect the internal screen connector before starting up. 😃

Sorin use his 6th sense when he suddenly put more flux and immediately the chipset start moving perfectly.

Very experienced, respect 👍👍👍

Hello Sorin, Just noticed that you are checking if the chip was moving by touching it with tweezers from the top, If you don't mind me saying that: the best way to check if the chip is soldered is to slightly poke it from its side and you should see it snapping back into it's place. thanks

Wymiana układu z reki !
No ładnie bez preheatera 😮😅
Super.

On my BGA machine I put a one penny on top of the chip and I put a tiny bit of solder on the chip itself. When it melts it’s fixed. I have fixed tons of laptops like this

Thanks for sharing sorin❤..not always easy replacing pch chipset😅💯bt always you make it...hope to see more chipsets replacements🙏

[carlossartori]

Very good, Great ability to change the chip!

Hi Sorin, on most laptop boards you can force output to hdmi / vga by disconnecting the internal display, even without HDD/SSD 😊
