What causes this fault
These faults are caused by the fact that every manufacturer Sony, Microsoft, etc have to use Unleaded solder during the manufacturing of their games console.
This was considered a more reliable solution for the electronics industry due to the fact that unleaded solder has a higher melting point than Leaded Solder.
The only problem is that over time, Unleaded solder goes brittle and cracks, when this occurs this is when the console displays the RED light errors.

The solution
We can remove the Graphics processor from the main board
Replace this with a brand new Graphics processor
The benefit of this procedure is that we only use Leaded solder when re soldering the chip back onto the main board.
Leaded solder does not go brittle and crack, therefore is the ultimate fix for your console.
We use the latest state of the art Computer Controlled Dark Infrared BGA reflow stations to safely and professionally carry out this process.
The Re-ball process
1. Console is stripped down and cleaned
2. Graphics processor is removed from the main board and the main board cleaned of unleaded solder
3. A Brand new Graphics processor soldered to the main board using only LEADED solder.
4. Console is re assembled and serviced.
5. The console is exhaustively tested to ensure everything is working 100%
PLEASE NOTE:
The Re-Ball Repair is dependant on the motherboard and the pads underneath the chip being in good condition,any previous bad heat gun repairs can have a very negative effect on the fix rate
If it is deemed not possible to reball the console due to mainboard damage or the reball is attempted and fails, there will be a £20 charge to cover the cost of the replacement RSX chip.
The repair fee you paid will be refunded minus the £20 fee.
