Just ordered some new tools from China today.
1. X360 V2 which a bottom heater with variable temperature. It comes with all the variety of plates for iPhone X to 13, and one for Face ID stuff.
2. Mijing K35 board holder and reablling jig. Although i don't think this will work for reballing, since it doesn't appear to have a cutout for the 5G antenna. But we'll see when it arrives.
I am mostly excited for the top board holder function. The generic holders don't seem to hold the L shaped board that well.
3. Qianli iAtlas Sandwich Board Spacers . Basically there's small disk to place on the sandwich pads to help create a spacer to prevent the top board squishing down too much & causing ball squeezage. I've had this issue a lot on the 12 series, since the top board seems to be heavier for some reason. So it shorts out VDD MAIN & causes no power, then gotta reball again.
I paid for expedited shipping, so i should have it all here in about 1wk or so.
Which tool would you like me to record a video about first? 👀
If you have a Seek Thermal Cam, you're missing out if you don't have a VCC Seek Stand: https://www.vccboardrepairs.com/buy-seek-stand
Injured Gadgets just got these back in stock, so get them while you can!
It can take us a while to build these out sometimes, so they're sometimes out of stock for a while, but we're working towards always having inventory ready to build more as they sell out.
This stand makes using a thermal cam so easy. So much better than any other thermal solution on the market.
It allows you to get real close up (using my Macro Lens), and easily find where the short is coming from.
Plus it's hard free, so you can have your hands free to try to boot the device from DCPS, while having an image that is in focus & not moving around.
You can even record a video through the app, while you inject voltage into the short, so you can go back & see exactly which component was it that was heating up.
Save yourself lots of time by getting a Seek Cam, Stand & Macro Lens! ...
Anyone who is doing game console repairs, knows how many screws you need to remove to access the motherboard.
Especially the PS5, with the 5,000 screws or so.
If you don't already have an electric screwdriver, GET ONE ASAP.

I was surprised this one was successful...
Hope you guys enjoy all the detail I provide in the videos!
These cloths are amazing. They're soft but don't melt when you heat them.
They're perfect for reballing ICs. Just fold it in half twice & place the IC on top.
While you're reballing, the chip will sink down a bit & allow you to reball much better than if you were to reball on your workmat
