Oh you're going to love this one. So I was given a OCZ 1010w power supply. Shocked and happy. I install it. Only to find out that it didn't work. Refusing to throw it away. I searched YouTube on how to fix it and came across this gem.


Not gonna do it!!! Not in my house. Fuck that.

Thanks You Tube. I did find the problem with the power supply and will attempt to get it working again. Off a budget of zero dollars. May make a video and this may come in handy to you guys down the road. I have no skill in this area but it looks straight forward. I'm confident that I can pull it off with the old PC's I have laying around as parts.

I wish he would pick up and move the motherboard more. That shit was driving me nuts for some reason.
 
Whats wrong you never baked an 8800 before? Back in that era, GPU's, Laptops, pretty much anything with recent leadfree solder needed to be reballed and sadly its not worth it. Baking can temp fix solder breaks but its usually not a permenant fix.

Trying to reball is fun. You need the grid for the chip in question:

Damn straight sid, nothing beats an item with the word F-R-E-E in front of it
 
This guy kinda sounds like Konrak since he got his new microphone. :-)

I've always wondered how they did that.

Never done it myself. Know some people that have done it on some crazy equipment like a PlayStation Portable (moving the cpu/nand between models).

Basically BGA chips come with little indentations for the ball solder. The board has holes in it where the trace terminates. Manually doing it you insert your pattern into the jig and drop the balls. Stick it through a reflow oven and then finish the rest of the assembly. Reballing is extra fun because you first need to remove all the solder from the chip and the board first.
