Need help removing apu (cpu) from bga port motherboard.

Showdown_ · Jun 17, 2016

Hello everyone. I am having a problem removing my apu (cpu) from my bga motherboard. I have a rework station and tried heating it off. Any temperature I used would not work. I was sitting there like a idiot for 10 minutes trying to heat the friggin thing off. I even tried force with a screwdriver. I gently tucked it under the apu and tried to pop it off while heating it.. Didn't even budge. This is also the first time I tried doing this. Am I doing something wrong? I would be super happy if someone helped because I am working on this for my friend and he wants it back soon. Thanks!

Yes I know and thanks for responding. I am trying to do this without a $1000 machine tho.

I mean, if you're trying to make a keychain out of it, you could try heating it in an oven to about 500 degrees and then beat on it with a hammer and chisel.

Why, exactly, do you need to remove that component? It's likely that you've already destroyed either the CPU and/or circuit board. There's a reason there are very expensive, and highly specialized tools for this kind of work.
