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
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 #2The optimal heating temperature is 155°C-165°C, as the layers are joined with low-temperature solder paste.
Link to this point #3Existing tin on the bonding pads must be completely removed, as any residual tin will adversely affect subsequent soldering.
Link to this point #4It 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 #5During 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 #6If 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 #7Also 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 #8A 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.
