What tools do you need for replacing the CPU on a DS Lite, and wich ways can be used to pry off the CPU ? I’v got 3 motherboards with (blackscreen) bootup seems their CPU aint good. I’v opened them by desoldering the 4 slot1 contacts and bend it up a little. After pushing it hard back into place 1 board began to works again. For the other 2 i can’t say this. Maybe the CPU is toasted ? I cant get them to work (yet) Please Advice! wich ways is the best for repairing the CPU and what tools do you need? Thanks!
Hi dbnijmegen, sometimes it is good to have a schematics of the board, and check if there is voltage supplying to the CPU. e.g. certain power management chip, etc. the cpu i believe is a BGA, which replacement can be difficult without proper tools and skills. you need a rework station, e.g. hot air, bga rework station infrared to remove it. and resoldering … those bga balls need to be in place.
