Sparks.nl Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I am thinking about a reball action for my 2 MSI Geforce GTX 260 Lightning BE. 1 of my 2 cards started succesfully untill a few days ago but showed artifacts today. After cleaning and taking the cooler of, it gave me a black screen (same as my nr.2 card). I was wondering if anyone has done a reball for a graphics processor. Is there anybody out there who has tried it? The gpu is a G200-103-3B. I was wondering if anyone has succefully replaced a gpu as well.

bartx Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I was doing it for some time, reballing and chip resoldering - couple years ago. Problem with those chips is, that chip is damaged itself, not balls below it. It may work for a week or two after this operation and die without any reasons. It would be better to replace chips from working reference cards... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks.nl Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 Thanks, I was looking at that as well. If I let someone do it, it is expensive. Do you still have the skills? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0minat0r Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 For reballing need big big experience. It is science for itself. I talk about reballing with many people. It's a conclusion is need very very expensive tool for reballing to do that this thing done well. As far as I know Smoke do reballing for TEAM RUSSIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks.nl Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 Thanks for the reply. I found a proffesional who does it over here. But the the question is, is the chip worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a conclusion is need very very expensive tool for reballing to do that this thing done well. As far as I know Smoke do reballing for TEAM RUSSIA It can be done with 150$ hot air station and 25$ electric grill as a heater. Trust me Good flux, bunch of stencils and 60%tin/40% lead balls with proper diameter. It's not magic, just need some attempts and patience. Took me a month, day after day, to gain skills to resoldering gpus. Point is, that chips have factory defect. Reballing will help only for a while. That's why I forgot about it. You're doing the card and after a month it's a dead again. Sometimes it won't help at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks.nl Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 I do have a hot air station. But not the skills needed yet. I guess the point is clear, "fixing" it won't do much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
