The BGA Machine – Mobile Phone Repairs

Blog head

This is one of our BGA machines, they can cost anywhere from £40,000 to £250,000 to buy but they are worth every penny.

Why Using a BGA Machine for Phone Repairs is Essential

When it comes to BGA (Ball Grid Array) component reflow or replacement, nothing beats the precision and reliability of a BGA machine. This professional equipment gently heats the BGA component to the correct temperature and slowly cools down the circuit board to avoid damage. But here’s the catch—many third-party repairs and market stall technicians skip this vital step, often causing more harm than good.

The Risk of Thermal Shock

Unlicensed repairers tend to use tools like heat guns or rush through the heating process, which exposes your device to thermal shock—a rapid change in temperature that can seriously damage your phone’s internal components. Think of it like dropping an ice cube into hot water; the cracking sound you hear is thermal shock in action. The same thing happens to your phone’s circuit board when it’s heated and cooled too quickly.

This not only shortens the lifespan of your device but can lead to new faults down the line. Every time the circuit board is incorrectly heated, it loses up to 30% of its life!

Why Professional BGA Machines Matter

Your phone’s circuit board is delicate—with components packed closely together, separated by mere millimetres. The BGA machine is designed to handle this level of precision, targeting only the component that needs attention. In contrast, using a heat gun or doing repairs by hand risks heating up surrounding parts, potentially damaging other components and causing intermittent failures.

Is It Worth Paying More for Professional Repairs?

Absolutely! While professional repairs might seem pricier compared to market stall quick fixes, the long-term benefits are worth it. You’ll get:

  • A warranty on your repair.
  • The confidence that your device is as good as new.
  • Protection against future faults that often arise from cheap, rushed repairs.

It’s like taking your car to a trusted mechanic rather than a dodgy, unlicensed repair shop. Why risk more damage just to save a little upfront?
