This isn’t an easy process, so [Edmar] came up with his own BGA rework station that costs much less than commercial offerings. [Edmar]’s build began when he wanted to repair a graphics card.

This repository contains the firmware and necessary documentation for a BGA (Ball Grid Array) rework station based on the ESP32-C3 microcontroller. The rework station utilizes a SSD1309 128x64 OLED ...

Code for Arduino based BGA Rework Station PID controller using a solid state relay and a k-type thermocouple. This controller has several functions: It reads the temperature from a k-type thermocouple ...

You can see a video of he machine in action below. We’ve talked about rework many times before. We’ve even covered BGA stations. There’s a lot of DIY potential here.

The Fonton BGA-936UA rework station offers excellent efficiency in both soldering and desoldering performance thanks to the 1000 W upper hot air injection heating and large IR bottom heating system.
