Reballing XBox 360 without special equipment

I want to talk about Reballing a XBox360 without special and expensive equipment like BGA Rework Station (costs about 110 Euros) or Infrared Rework Station (costs from 1200 Euro), what I tried to do, is just use very chip equipments.

Step 1: Desolder the Chip

we take the GPU for our first desoldering try, of course the most XBox360 problems are causing by this component.
XBox360 Motherboards cannot sustain a very high amount of temperature and will lose their flat form and deform, therefore it is very important to use 2 Metal L-Form parts and fix them using 6mm Screws to Motherboard.

we also need a Hot Air Gun and



an SMD Vacuum Pen

I also put 2 metal corner connectors to reduce the heat achieving other parts on Motherboard.

to start of work, heat about 1 or 2 minutes the backside of Motherboard, don't keep the Hot Air Gun on one point and move it permanently to all corners, also use circular moves on back of GPU.

I took a film from the whole process.

Step 2: Cleaning GPU and Motherboard from Solder

 the next step is free up the Motherboard and GPU from solder and make them ready for setting balls on them. here is a film how to do it.

Step 3: Cleaning Motherboard from Solder

like step above, clean the Motherboard from Solders to have a flat underground to soldering back the Chip.
