Tips for Using Cell Phone BGA Rework Station

Cell phone BGA rework station is a very common equipment in cell phone repair industry, do you know how to set and use it in a right way? There are some tips in this article, hope the article will offer you some assistance if you are just start to learn cell phone logic board soldering skills!

1. Heat Setting

In most cases, cell phone repairmen set up the temperature of BGA rework station between 300 degrees to 400 degrees , the exact degree depends on the size of IC' s. If it is an analog one without indicator or display instead of knobs on it, the knob of heat is setting on 3.5

2. Air Setting

You'd better keep the air setting a little above the minimum level. Because it is possible to remove or damage the neighboring parts if there is more air in the period of soldering. Otherwise, if there is no air available, it may lead the coil inside the handle to burn. Therefore, you need to set properly to keep a little bit of air is coming out along with the heat.

These 2 settings can be also various by different situation and job. Also you need to select the appropriate tip either broad or narrow according to the job.

It's also necessary to use solder flux during the cell phone soldering process , which is a kind of liquid paste that used at the edges of the IC before heating or removing an IC.

So, if you keep all the settings properly and be ready with the flux now, the next step for you is to switch on the button of the BGA rework station, then move its handle so that the heat on tip will come out in a circular motion inside the edges of the IC. Just keep on moving till 2 to 3 times if you only want to heat the IC. If you want to remove it, keep on moving till the IC loosens from the board and then lift it with tweezers. Do not try to pluck it out forcefully if it hasn' t loosened as it may damage the points below on the board.

For new repairmen and DIY type people, it' s better to practice on dead circuit boards and see more of professional skills and videos before practical operation. And we also advise you to have professional practical training so that you can do the entire procedure properly. For using BGA rework station, you have to own basic phone repair soldering skills, if you are not professional, you need to join more training class and read more repair tutorials, it's especially essential to use cell phone rework station in a proper way!
