Hi all, I've got a PS3 Slim with errors 3034, 4002 and 4401, so I decided to try and reball the RSX.
Console repair is my hobby but I have never done a reball before. I wanted to make this post to ask for suggestions since there is just too many things that may go wrong in the process, especially for a newbie like me.
Got all the required equipment for the job: T-8280 preheater, Quick 861DW hotair with 45mm square nozzle, thermocouples, flux, braid, solder balls, stencils, etc.
My main questions are:
- To what temperature do I need to preheat the board first? Some sources say 160, some state 180 or even 200 °C.
- After that, what temperature should I reach by adding the hotair? The lead free solder should melt at 220 °C but different sources say to heat it up to 230-250 °C.
- What airflow to set? Some people suggest low airflow wile others say high.
- What temps do I need to use while resoldering the RSX back with leaded balls?
I know that I need to bake the board to evaporate the moisture, which I'm going to do. But are there any other suggestions / recommendations?
Thanks for help!
