  • OMG! u r the best for desoldering!

  • i wouldn't call this desoldering.... more like How to break your xbox the 'difficult way'

  • This will life all the legs up and destroy the board. WTF dude. Y cant you use a hot air station? The cheapest chinese one would do much better than this. SHAME ON YOU

  • Why would you do this serious question

  • good way to pull pads up

  • Man I tried this method on a Xbox south bridge and ended up breaking a leg on the ic and removing the traces and also the pads where the pins meet can you please help me

  • You know how to solder a ram chip... but can't afford a better than 240p camera? o.O

    That's hard to believe.

  • @thelegendbullet937 this was recorded in 04

  • @stilts07 but uploaded on 06?? wtf...kinda sketchy but i liked the vid thanx...

  • @thelegendbullet937 idiot!!!!! i guess you didn't get the video point!!

    

  • @vze4p6c2

    Lawl, you got SO mad... that was funny

  • @thelegendbullet937

    That doesn't make any sense at all.

  • @CagedTurkey

    He doesn't make any sense at all.

  • @thelegendbullet937

    Other than the fact that the video is old, what does knowing how to solder have ANYTHING to do how much money you have? No, don't tell me "because you get a job"

  • @DOTiSOalt

    It's just natural to infer that someone who knows how to work with technology would only purchase quality components.

  • @thelegendbullet937

    By your logic the uploader would own a RED EPIC by now since it is one of the best cinematography cameras in the market. But do you honestly think he can afford one?

  • @DOTiSOalt

    Did I say the Best products? No, I said Quality products. Read before replying please.

  • @thelegendbullet937

    Your point is still invalid. If you don't have the money to spare, you can't afford to buy "quality products". Simple as that.

  • @DOTiSOalt

    *sigh* Now you're just trying to start an argument.

    I don't have time instigating for trolls like you.

    I'm done explaining my logic to someone who simply wont hear logic itself.

  • @thelegendbullet937 yo bullet i can use my troll techniques on him if you want me to he'll be in a bodybag by the time im done with him LOL

  • @iWarpiNHalo

    LOL! Yo... Stalk me much? Wtf?! lmfao

    Idk how u even saw this... but uhh, naw there's no point in trolling a troll. As a wise person says, "The problem with arguing with fool is: when people pass by they can't tell who's not the fool." ;)

  • @thelegendbullet937 your gay

  • @iWarpiNHalo

    I love you too <3

  • @thelegendbullet937

    Calling others who is saying you're wrong does not make you right. Any camera that shoots higher than SD back in the early 00s costs just as much as a RED EPIC today. Do you honestly think you can afford that?

  • just use chip quick solder. much easyer

  • That's real cool

    But I would like you to post a video how to put it back?

    Thanks

  • @MAIMPORT actually, putting it back is less dangerous and fairly easy. Clean the pads but make sure there is still a bit of fusible alloy on them, apply flux (rosin), position the chip on pads, and solder two opposing pins on the diagonal of the chip, then slide the soldering iron over the pins and check with magnifying glass. Here is a video with a TSOP-66 to give you an idea: youtube.com/watch?v=_2vnJyRuq9­8 

  • GG RAM

  • use some low temp solder instead

  • where did you get the wick stuff?

  • @JDTV1995 desoldering wick ebay it or go anywhere

  • @JDTV1995 Radio shack.

  • This was made about 5 years ago... decongestant and allergy meds were invented since then... how about a redo on the video taking into account these factors?

  • WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?! I understand modding but the cpu and motherboard are made for the ram,where are you gonna get another?

  • @supercaleb08 from a ram memory, or buying it...

    And.... it would be good for running more programs on the xbox going full!

  • @supercaleb08 O but how do you find the ram?

  • A bit sloppy i just watched another video doing the same type of work where they used a low heat solder to remove same type of chip and lo and behold a q-tip was used, i give an A for effort here since this was done several years ago, by the way why didnt i see a response did the xbox survive this? or did i miss it on the 17 pages of response, personally i would have used the needle and the heat at same time desolder later gently pop them up as the heat let the solder go, not proper, job done?

  • This is not the "proper" way to remove a TQFP package, but it appears to work well and I love his creativity!

  • This was a perfect video of what NOT to do when soldering/de-soldering.

  • Please take this video down, although you may have been successful here and I wish you luck, folk following your procedure will likely either damage their chip, board or both.

    There are a few different and effective techniques when working with SMD components, but I'm sorry, this is not one of them.

  • Xbox is working?

  • Poor and incorrect method. Actually the easiest way is with a Heat gun and tweezers. Two minutes, then remove solder with wick, replace chip and resolder

  • why the fuck i should take the RAM of my XBOX 360

  • @TheUltimateXboxGamer who ever said anything about xbox 360's? this is for xbox's. and its to upgrade the ram to 128mb.

  • @TheUltimateXboxGamer You are a fucking IDIOT

  • why all this i have head for this product are you in usa old fashion

  • Your soldering tip looks like shit.

  • 1:45, uhh, what the  hell are you doing?

  • @stilts07 Why you upload HowTo training videos if you dont have even the slightest idea of what you are doing?? the fact tht you watched some soldering videos doesnt make you experienced not even trained... to teach something you must be much above the level of that you try to teach...

    Your videos will harm most people that dont know nothing about soldering like you... buying from ebay an solder iron and some flux doesnt make you an electrician.... nor a craftsman...

  • @Emeengor I'm an electrician. It's not that damned hard. We certified everyone at work in manufacturing with a 2-hour soldering course, 90 minutes of it wasnt needed. Just shut up. How are his videos harming anyone?

  • @CalicoatMaker To answer like that you must be a 2 week training and online certification electrician........ there are 21398129038120983 reasons for this video to be far away from being a training video or atleast a how to...

    some of these: 1 there could be made shortcuts by using cotton with something glossy because cotton hair stick to the glossy material or even with liquid flux...

    2: he destroys the chip wiith such a clumsy handling 3: he overheats everything... and more.. no char left

  • @Emeengor you dumb ass 1 cotton isn't conductive 2 the chip had to be removed for a new one I guess so it doesn't care if he destroys the chip 3 and what is he overheating then, it isn't the SMD resistor at the side because the solder on that component didn't even melt and if the chip is overheating... it doesn't care because he is removing it.

  • @MrJANTJE123 no he's removing to double the ram on another xbox's mb. you need good condition ram chips from another xbox mb. cant be damaged.

  • @dballs442 didn't now that

  • @MrJANTJE123 1 it doesnt need to be conductive (which at some low scale it is) it gets between the leeds and the connection and also is leads some solder to flow on it. last but not least memory nands are very sensitive to heat.. also scratching your board or cold solder isnt a good idea either

  • @Emeengor 0:46 yea you can see the silicon melting on the chip -_- iron wayyyyyy to hot and heated for to long???

  • How well does your xbox work after this...

    Anyways, the reason he is (attempting) to tho this is because the Xbox had 64mb of ram in it, and on most of them there are spots for extra ram. If you remove the RAM from one and put it in the other you can have up to 128mb and then use it to watch higher definition video, MAME, or run Linux on it. It's basically reusing old electronics.

  • you mic is clipping...

    You didn't record that with an xbox MIC did you?

  • Comment removed

  • fail...

  • you just fucked your xbox.

    use hot air! before, protect your components surrounding the chip.

  • stop misleading for god sake, You need a hot air

  • too right never use this vid as a demo this is not how to do it never ever copy this vid you will just make a mess

  • never nver pry, you will ruin the trace

  • i just used a blowtorch. but xbox broke.

  • @themoviekidownz maybe u shud have tried a nuclear bomb worked perfect on my xbox

  • Now ur xbox is realy fucked up xd Or was he allready?,thats the question

  • damn your stupid.

  • whynwould you do this what is the point

  • ya exactly u guys make ur own vids before u start bitching. cause we are not all computer nerds that know everything.

  • This is the poor mans way of doing it. The rich man will have a rework/reballing hot air station like a AOYUE 2702A+ or a T870A BGA IRDA Welder Infrared Heating Rework Station.

  • i have a dead 1.3 ..can i remove it and put it on my 1.6 ?..not personaly since i don't know shit about soldering/desoldering

  • I think it's just better to go to some electronics repair guys who own professional hardware so they can desolder the chip instead of risking costly damages.

  • Don't try this at home! :-/

  • You suck at electronics.

    As you are prying those soldered legs away from the board, you are pulling the actual copper pads off the laminate. Wicking the joints doesn't desolder a chip. Use a hot air station.

  • If you going to just ram a pin to lift up the leads why dont you heat them with the iron at the same time instead of using a braid. Seems like you have more of a chance lifting a pad your way. Or just used a heat gun like most people.

  • this is old fashion and not profetional desoldering... they is a great risk to damage the board.... i did this a million times, and always i was having a board damage..

    you can use this method with smaler ic. like 8pin or 16pin.

  • wow, soooooooo dumb!

  • Hey man!

    Try it an a Hairdryer, or an electronic hot plate with thermal controll!

    Its more easier than this methood!

  • No coment

  • do only look at the side of the chip from 0:43 to o:57 the side of the chip melted (-: whitch means he sucks at soldering and fails hard !!

  • yes this guy sucks at soldering but thats not a burn, thats the flux that was on top that he didnt get off watch before the "burn" appears you can see a glob of it chillin there and the heat from the soldering iron caused it to liquify

  • this is hilarious, this guy works for Xbox, is the most stupid thng i've seen in my live

  • Why would you need to remove the RAM from your xbox?

    and to that question, how much RAM does your xbox even have?

  • @P3rfectRunx24 You pull the RAM to replace it with bigger RAM (homebrew apps can make use of this). It comes stock with 64mb, most mods I've seen go to 128mb.

  • To get xbox linux

  • loll this is old fashioned soldering... omgg look at the screwdriver.. do u need a hammer too ??

  • I never knew the 'L' in Solder was silent. Incredible. Oh and I guess there's an invisible but audible extra 'D' in there too, making it sound like 'Sodder'.

    You learn something new every day.

  • @unrealeck whats the point of silent letters?

  • @shadoskill You seem to be implying there's no such thing as silent letters. If so, you not only suck at English, but general literacy of any language since every language I've come accross uses them.

  • @unrealeck I am not saying there is no such thing as them buy no real reason to use them.

  • @shadoskill lol wtf. So do you pronounce silent letters?

  • If you don't wanna buy a proper SMT rework station, get some chipquik. It's pretty cheap and you can use it with a regular old soldering iron. A lot less hassle and danger of destroying things.

  • Please redub without the sniffles! It's driving me crazy!

  • WTF?? eso no se hace así!

  • I think you can take out with ak 47 7.62x39 xD

  • much better do it with hot air gun, if you force -like you do- anything from behind the pins in order to "break" the weld, it is more likely to get the pad and the via unstuck from pcb, broken or even worse a pin to break of the chip.

  • 1:50 Don't do this because you can (will) damage the circuit paths!

    Moreover ground youself while working on electronic components, especially on memory chips and CPUs.

    And by the way: NEVER EVER use any screwdrivers or knives on a SMD chip :-)))

  • @Kosekans He just a teenager. He doesn't need to be grounded. *wink *wink Get my joke.

  • @Bopkasen Wow... what a weak joke lol... Sadly no soldering experience so I wouldn't want to follow a mod because I woild most likely fail 3 times in a row...

    Ugh i'll stick with cisco router : )

  • @dreadsteed

    It was a pun. It was a good laugh those.

  • @Bopkasen yeah I understood the joke thats why I felt like headshotting myself

    = ) It was a good pun though just not very subtle I guess..

  • If your NOT ESD grounded, this chip is toast..lol OMG!!

  • yes it is.  This is on an XBOX.

  • OMG

  • hahaha, hear those "pops" when he stuffs the needle under the pins? hahaha, that's the kind of sound you often hear when you just lifted a pad off the pcb. LOL. Never, ever rip a pad off it's land. Use some god damned fields metal to lower the melting point of the solder if you can't afford proper smt rework equipment.

  • whats the point of doing this?

  • not the best way, but it works thou it takes time? Heat gun is the best...

  • he didn't complete the vid so theirs signs of fail in it...

  • You don't have any idea, what you doing there, do you?

  • shut up hater .......

  • stupid method never try it on your computer !!!

    better method to remove smc is using hot air gun

  • "no bread to eat, let them eat cake!"

    Not every one has hot air gun. So don't tell people that no bread to eat, let them eat cake.

  • "Not every one has hot air gun."

    'Not every one' should be removing TQFP packaged chips.

  • Ding ding ding we have a winner.

  • shut your face, this is a perfectly legitamate method

  • He is just showing his way of changing a integrated, open your minds please. But in 2006, now is so different.

  • rofl - wie ein Schmied

  • This guy fails at desoldering. 1. Never use a quetip to apply flux (The cotton can bind on the leads), 2. Never use ribben to desolder quad sided chips (this causes way to much thermal stress aswell as major risks of binding and damageing leads), 3. NEVER and i mean NEVER pray leads up off surface mounting (that was just stright epic fail right there).

  • Put a video about how to do it... it's very easy to critic someone's work

  • 100's of these videos already exist. Several of them can be found just by looking over at the Related Video section.

    FAIL

  • Wish I would have read your comments before I followed this video. I just ripped the pads off of the board and now my router is worthless. God how depressing.

  • If your going to do surface mount work i highly suggest a hotair rework station aswell as the correct head size for the chip you will be removeing. i believe sparkfun sells a cheap rework station. But ya in general never use wick's in general for Surface mount work. Fluxing aswell was a generaly bad idea, fluxing the leads in general is for mounting not desoldering. Solder wick is primarly only useful for DIP chips and should never apply flux to the leads its counter productive.

  • is good idea if you use hot air gun

  • @Lokivoid

    thx wikipediajoe

  • @Lokivoid yep, you are totaly right champ, that guy failed

  • @Lokivoid

    Make you own video and post as a video response

  • @Lokivoid That's a HOW DON'T instead of HOW TO video...

  • @Lokivoid Then why do manufacturers tell you to use a Qtip?

    The correct spelling is "RIBBON". The correct spelling is "DAMAGING". The correct spelling is "PRY". You, Lokivoid, can't even spell when you have the internet? You are epic fail.

  • @CalicoatMaker

    Link me the manufacturers specc's for installation and repair procedure, so i can see where it says to use a household Q-tip. Also grammar and typeing ability have no effect on the understanding of proper soldering and desoldering procedure for surface mount components. That point aside no manufacturer will tell you to use a household q-tip for flux application, Its always a medical grade stick swab, pen or brush. They never say use a household q-tip with lose cotton fibers.

  • If I were to do this, and I doubt I ever will, I would use chipquick (go to curiousinventor) and a lotta flux. Yes, it can be done, but practice on old broken down junk and see if it's worth the time to learn the technique. :)

  • this guy is either stupid or very smart

  • @yuhcgte im sure how knows now... is he still stupid? sounds pretty smart for a teenager.

  • @yuhcgte stupid i guess...

  • he is a turd never copy this video

  • many ask why you would do this

    the xbox 1 only had 64MB of RAM, people used to upgrade to 128MB of RAM, because they probably used them for linux boxes.

    you'd desolder the RAM chip, from a dead motherboard, and resolder it to a working xbox 1 motherboard :)

  • Why in the holy fuck would I want to do this?

  • for the dumb fucks who dont know why. more ram mean faster modded xbox allowing them to play games more seamlessly.

  • For the dumb fuck above, this is about REMOVING ram, and a day after I posted my last comment, I found out that in case you have a dead Xbox, you can remove the RAM from it and solder it to another one.

  • yeah im a dumb fuck cause i know why people do shit.

  • man that is not the proper way to remove a microchip from PCB.

  • you fuck the ram!!! lol

  • why would you do this?

  • yea thats what i was about to say

    maybe for a modchip idk

  • This is a "last resort" to removing a part like this. If you're not careful, you'll rip traces right off the board.

    Either spend $500 to $2500 on a rework station -OR- use a tiny torch with the "heat shrink/SMD" nozzle attached and work your way around the part. (that costs about $25)

    I've removed hundreds of chips using the torch pen method and really only trashed a board or two by stupidity.

    DON'T USE A HEAT GUN. You'll damage components beyond the area you're working on.

  • While I personally wouldn't use a heat gun to remove these chips, it can be done just so long as youre really careful and know the characteristics of your heat gun by practicing first. To shield the surrounding areas from the heat (you mainly want to protect the capacitors), you can use aluminum foil. Like I mentioned before, I personally wouldn't use a heat gun to perform surface mount work, or a torch pen for that matter, but I have seen it done successfully on more than one occasion.

  • Also, a decent hot air rework station (at least for casual DIY'ers) can be had for much less than $500-$2500 dollars.

    You can pick up a decent 850+ clone off of the interwebs for around $100-$150, and if youre weary about buying a chinese knock off, a really nice Weller rework station can be found for about $300 off of eBay. I have a Aoyue 968 3-in-1 that I use just about everyday and I absolutely love it. Costing only $160, it just about paid for its self the first time I used it.

  • "and over here, we're going to paint a happy little tree.

    Thatll be our little secret."

  • stupid metod for remove a chip memory just use the presice tool and that is all you need with a hot air station, nothing more, but you are very complicate and very dangerous technique

  • Thas really no good idea.. =o( ..

    I have bought an infrared soldering station from PDR (Solderlight 810/620).. but this solution is very expensive..

  • baita tecnico viu...

  • WOW that looks scary, just do it with hot air and DONT bend pins

  • what is the purpose of this?

  • the needle method works, I got an entire ram chip off with just 2 broken legs, I'm about to attempt it again on a differant motherboard here in a second, hope it works :)

  • Thats a pikey way of doing things! You will lift the tracks!

  • Looks like it a RAM. Look carefully, you can see a set of termination resistors. 16 of them makes it 16 bit bus

  • Just bought a 1.1 motherboard for 10 bucks. I heard that EBGames shops in US will now refuse used Xbox1 even if perfectly functional. It will makes theses upgrade opportunity for nothing.

  • Yeah it its.

  • Yes!! You said it BUJNOS... I use a thin spinal needle to pop up pins... I use GOOT DESOLDERING WICK and a CHISEL TIP @340 degrees..

  • oh, its risky, i think it would be safer to use a medical needle of proper diameter end slide it in while heating and lifting every pin separetly in sequence - less force and clean

  • Just wondering... what kind of solder gun is that. I mean like in watts.....15...30...40??

    I have a 15 watts and 35 watts solder thingy. Will the 35 work better in doing this job?

  • amazes me how people miss the L out of solder when they say it, soddering is not the same as Soldering.

  • Must be an American thing, everyone i know in Australia pronounces it with an L.

  • Definitely an American thing, i've never pronounced it with an L but i know it has one. Thats the way i've always heard it.

  • with this "pen" you risk tearing off some contact pads of the PCB. desolder SMD components without any mechanical force!

  • Part of my job is to rework PCB's and hot air gun is bay FAR the best way to desolder SMT devices on a budget. Either that or an infrared rework station. I would never, ever do it this way, sorry mate :(.
