![]() Hi all
Issue seems to be slightly tap sensitive , although that might be a complete coincidence . Main board problem none the less . Can anyone advise . I'm leaning toward re-balling the main BGA processor chip . Have the correct stencil in stock , therefore must have re-balled one of these chips in the distant past . |

![]() All signs point to BGA, I have one of these boards from a 42LM6400, after reflowing the main chip it lasted for 2 years, then further reflow attempts failed to make the TV last even 1 minute powered on.
But the TV should not freeze, it should power off immediately or not even get out of standby when it's the main chip. |

![]() Thanks for the input .
I don't tend to re - flow any more , as it doesn't seem to be reliable . Will re - ball & report back |

![]() On removal & inspection of BGA , may have worked out issue .
part of track , which looks to be a through hole point seems to have been exposed , by heat from the a capacitor that sits directly under it . Could try some solder mask to insulate point then fit chip back . Although it looks like it from picture it's not a pad . |

![]() Nice one, yes re-balling rather than re-flowing seems to be the way to go for me .
Have been experimenting for a few years now & have quite a reliable technique with the equipment i use . Many re-balling videos on You Tube . |

![]() I think leaded solder is superior to the brittle unleaded. Military still uses leaded solder for reliability.
