HI Im new to this but i thought i would have a go at fixing my xbox 360 be re balling it,ive managed to remove the gpu and take all the old solder balls of and cleaned it up,then ive put it in a re balling jig with the 360 stencil fluxed the gpu with flux with a fine paint brush then let the solder balls drop onto the gpu and all is ok up to now there all in place,its when i come to heat them up with my heat gun a few of them move into each other so i have to try again.ive only atempted it twice and the same thing happens 10 20 percent of the balls are moving into one another im using SAIKE 852D+ at 200 250 degres with the air fully turned down. any help would be very much appreciated thanks john

Hear ya.

Mostly, we production people. So, we shy away from home brew soldering techniques, unless we get ourselves in a mess. That being said, there's a fair amount of stuff on the web about home brew BGA and fine pitch QFP soldering. Here's an example: http://technocrat.net/d/2006/2/4/230/

Try stencilquik. Works good on PCB surface, not sure about component for BGA balls?
