PS-3 reballing is necessary when the PS-3 gamins system needs to be repaired. Using the EZReball™ reballing preforms the DIY repair shop or user can easily reball a device after taking it off.

There are only a few tools required for PS-3 reballing including a heating source (which can be a toaster oven), flux paste, isopropyl alcohol and a soft brush for cleaning and some type of magnification to aid in inspection. After prepping the device for reballing it is placed on top of the reballing preform, squared up with the package dimensions or alignment, reflow, preform removed and then cleaned and inspected.

If the supply chain has suspect parts it is always a surer thing to just replace the solder balls as part of the PS-3 reballing process then replace the device with a part from an unknown source.
