I would be willing to donate some motherboards I have got a pile of RROD

docentore · 25-12-2010, 13:02

I was to get the hot air station in new year and I was talking about it all the time.
Guess what santi brought me? this..

I know, it is small, hopefully it will do the job, it should. I think my wife googled what hot air station is and she got afraid the size of it and decided to take initiative on this

I didn't have to test it properly yet, but had it connected for few minutes and seems to do the job.

Yeah, i have 3 RRODs that "should" be Jtagable that i couldnt revive with a reflow. Would be willing to donate to the cause.

Ah nice Doc, since you can adjust the airflow too, ya should be grand I'd imagine.

If everyone's splitting, what kinda setup/budget are ye looking at? Just out of curiousity more than anything else.

If anyone knows the bike shop Rothar (.ie), we could start something similar for console repairs! lol

Ya sure,place is a bit messy thogh

,the griddle isn't the most professional looking thing in the world but it certainly does a great job

sorry about the massive picture

Nice setup do you have thermocouples to get readings of temps?

Wez · 25-12-2010, 18:15

Nice one JBJM, looks just how I wanna build mine, good to hear you're happy with the griddle!

I'm looking at one slightly flatter, and I'm gonna have holes for PS3 mount points and 360 ones too, then swap bolts out when doing different batches of console. If the heating element is in the way I might build a jig for holding them over the griddle (and one jig for each then). But I don't want it to disrupt the flow of heat (so it's as even as possible) if I can avoid it.

Might get that thermocouple JBJM linked to earlier aswell to verify the heat, after that point he made about how it's measured on the rework machine (great thinking, never occured to me!).

this is the griddle I had in mind before I found the other one up in the attic

It looks to have a nice large surface area,
An xbox 360 board just fits perfectly into my griddle I doubt a ps3 one would though,there a good bit bigger so I might be getting this if I get into ps3's.

How far should the board be raised from the preheater to avoid frying components?

Jimbobjoeyman · 25-12-2010, 18:58

roughly about 2 cm

docentore · 30-12-2010, 17:11

whoever has any spare rrod mobos I will be happy to take them for training purposes

random Modding thought:
happy new year everyone, lot of successful jtag hunts, no cold joints, plenty of successful reflows, no bricked consoles, many found exploits!
