- cptskippy 7y agoNot that much. BGA chips aren't that hard with a hot air station. I've done plenty of de-soldering and reflow using just a hot air gun.

- lightedman 7y agoA BGA can be replaced with a freaking heat gun from Home Depot and some solder braid and some flux. Source: I used to repair cable boxes for CTDI. While everyone else is using their Metcal station and wasting 5 minutes, I've got the BGA off, board deballed, and a new BGA package installed and ready for PKI in less than 45 seconds with a heat gun.
