How to Solder and Desolder Common Components - Tutorial

The video covers how to replace THT, SOIC, QFN, and BGA components. I hope you enjoy it!

These are the tools I am using:
Microscope - Amscope SM-4NTP with x0.5 Barlow lens

SM05 - 0.5x Barlow lens:

Soldering station - JCID AIXUN T3B with T210 Handle:

Hot air station - ATTEN ST-862D:

Tweezers:

Rosin atomizer:

Board holder - T26:

Different stencils I use:

I love your robot voice. I’m deaf and that voice is very easy to understand plus it is auto captioned very well. 90% of the English speakers out there cannot speak properly or clearly.

[DEtchells]

Wow, what an excellent tutorial! (!) The idea of reballing a BGA chip had seemed exotic and unattainable, but you made it seem simple. I came for your RPi 4 video (linked from the Hackaday blog), then saw this one on solder rework. Great job! I've subscribed, and will watch closely for anything else you put out!

(PS: Don't worry about the robotic voice. It still feels like you guiding us and telling us how to do things; I appreciate the effort to make the content easily understandable!)

you've helped me so much and this is great timing. i am replacing a fuse on a ps4 pro for the dvd drive and you've given me the best and most concise skills. i have bought more tools and pastes because of you! thank you for your advice and teachings.

Thank you so much for the quality and the details you put in your videos! From the temperature to the airflow amount, this is really helpful.

A great channel spotted in its infancy! Subbed! Thank you so much for the videos (2 so far)! They are extremely helpful to beginning hobbyists like myself. Don't worry about the synthesized voice over, it delivers every bit of the well-written script.

Thank you for specifying all the temperatures and airflow you use, so many tutorials skip them completely. This kind of information is very important to new people that don't yet have a "feel" for it. So far I have done everything up to qfn but I haven't yet tried bga. Once the ram chip arrives I'll have some fun with it, thank you for the idea. Also, I don't mind the robotic voice. I actually prefer a clear and understandable synthesized voice over a real noisy, hard-to-understand voice with a random accent. Keep up the good work. I'm sure that because of you many new people will become interested in fucking around with their electronics, and that's amazing.

What ive learned today : PUT SOME FLUX

[dezibeldani]

Thanks! Drying the solder paste with heat and a coffee filter was new to me 🙂

[farukcoban]

Thank you for explaining it in a very nice and understandable way for a Turkish whose English is not very good.

[MCgranat]

Another great video, I'm glad I found you!

[MichaelChristoffersen]

I don't care about the robotic voice. Not everyone is a native English speaker. Keep up the good work :)

[Johadart]

Hello friend, the tip you class as a chisel tip, is actually called a knife tip or K tip, great video, keep up the good work 🤙🏼🇦🇺

[MrOoh]

Great, i just sub after i saw RPI 4 Ram upgrade video, and i just wanna relearn the basics, thank you so much it's a god send what a great timing, i have the materials but i never practice so much.

[dimirossman]

Your Vedio ‘s are brilliant keep up the good work

Супер интересни видеа, още по-радостно е от коя държава си :)

Thank you so much for taking my suggestion for the USB ports and making a video, I REALLY appreciate it. Now I can see where I went wrong with my RPi4 and because of your help I actually feel confident I can get the damaged one fixed. I also appreciate you going over the different chips too. That will help me as I learn to replace those as well.
I have another question for you. Where do you get the stencils for re-balling chips from? I'm from Canada but I live in the States, so if you have any suggestions where in the US I could get them, that would be awesome.

[icewave]

I don’t post comments on youtube, but you got me as a subscriber. I’m a beginner to soldering, I do mostly basic stuff and I wanted to go on with microsoldering and I cannot find any information or tutorials about microsoldering. In this video you explained so much I want to thank you very much, I will proceed and buy many pastes because I can see now that they are very important. One question: if we want to reball something and we don’t have the mold for it what else can we do?

Keep up the great videos!!

You should use referral links for the consumables as well (solder, wick, etc) for those who need them. Can you show how to use an oscilloscope, or maybe even all the functions on a multimeter for those who are new.

Човече, аз обикновено не пиша коментари, какво остава за български такива, но ти ме принуждаваш!
Видеото ти е просто страхотно! Вероятно това е твоята професия, но за мен това е хоби, което се старая да правя максимално правилно и с твоя помощ успях ОПРЕДЕЛЕНО да подобря skill-oveте си!
Следя те от известно време и трябва да призная, че направо си феноменален! НЕ знам защо се очудваш, че те mention-ват във форуми, като RPI-forums/adafruit и THWD... Не случайно мастъра на Ansible/Puppet Jeff Gierling се е свързал с теб.
Предвид датата на това видео се съмнявам да го видиш тоя коментар, но все пак, ако го, само ще ти кажа - давай нагоре! Имаме нужда в нашата тъпа държавица от хора като теб! :)

Nice ... 👍 btw your voice reminds me of K.I.T.T. Knight Rider.. 😁
