Overview

This technical educational video explains the correct procedures for separating and recombining double-stacked motherboards used in iPhone X and later models. Based on feedback from REWA Academy students, it presents detailed steps and precautions to prevent pseudo soldering, demonstrating two methods.

Key points

Introduces methods to address the issue of layers failing to fit closely during double-stacked motherboard repair, leading to large gaps and pseudo soldering.

Link to this point #1

Recommends using a professional motherboard heating platform instead of a hot air gun for beginners, to prevent uneven heating and deformation.

Link to this point #2

The optimal heating temperature is 155°C-165°C, as the layers are joined with low-temperature solder paste.

Link to this point #3

Existing tin on the bonding pads must be completely removed, as any residual tin will adversely affect subsequent soldering.

Link to this point #4

It is important for solder paste to maintain proper humidity during reballing; if too dry, it will adhere to the stencil upon removal and result in unevenness.

Link to this point #5

During recombination, when solder flux spills and the logic board sinks, gently nudge the logic board with tweezers to ensure the two layers fit closely.

Link to this point #6

If the motherboard is deformed, it can be corrected using a flat board and rubber bands, placing soft paper underneath to avoid crushing components.

Link to this point #7

Also introduces a simplified recombination method when the middle bonding pad is not damaged: keeping original tin on the bonding pad and only removing thermal grease.

Link to this point #8

A 0.05mm thick metal pad surrounds the signal board, designed to maintain a 0.05mm gap between it and the logic board, preventing solder ball bridging.

REWA Academy offers complete course packages to improve motherboard diagnosis and repair capabilities.
