My professional timestamp. I’m too f****g old to remember all that. Was 1987 I think. 17 years old… I start with the professional electronics. On my account (freelancer) and I’ll stay freelancer until now. So…
1987
- I’ll start my professional life. Was funny complicated or complicated funny, I don’t remember that. It was the consequence of the fact that my father, when I was 7 years old (or young) inoculate me the virus of electronic sciences. 10 years of school + same time hobby electronic. After that… I’ll was inoculated, I know that electronics sciences will be my profession, little time away I discover the fact that the electronic will be my hobby. Lucky men…
1993
- My first company, a combination between electronic service and robots manufacturing. The robots were a promising business. At that time I’ll manufacture robots for hobby purpose. Al goes very well until 2008 – world crash of construction industry, all goes down. First ting – HOBBY. My company go to trash.
2009
- I’ll go to another country, I’ll restart my life. Wasn’t easy task. When I’ll emigrate… Well… without language knowing, without money (about $20 in my pockets)…
- I’ll need to eat. I start to do what best I know… repair electronics, what electronics?! Anything, when you have $5 in the pockets… you don’t have the right to choose.
- I repair more than 800 laptops in 3 months with $50 each… $40.000 in 3 moth… not bad. I lose that money with my brother… an idiot.
- No problem, with the money that remain, I buy a domain, I made a huge publicity about big machine industrial electronic repair and the rest are history… But…
- When I repair that laptops… I was forced to rework BGA, I’ll rework with the poor man method, 100% functional. At this time was my first contact with BGA’s and BGA Rework Stations.
- I want to buy one, but in the industrial machines / industrial electronic I don’t need one due to the fact that electronics that I’ll repair were old, without BGA chips.
- This no BGA chips continued until…
2012
- Come to repair two interesting displays used in Three harvesting (Timberjack TMC from C or D series… I don’t remember…) that have intermittent contact under the… BGA!!! I don’t use the poor man method, I’ll think that is risky, I do a search here in Spain and I found a company that have 60 pcs “BGA Rework Stations”. I pay for the rework for two boards… Short story… The f*****g idiots broke my two boards, broke 20 pads on each due to the fact that the BGA was insufficient heated. At this time, I think that was technician fought (I was ignorant). I lose about $3500 on each board, $7000 total.
- At this moment I think… well with $7000 I can buy a “Professional BGA Rework Station”… I was ignorant!
- I start my research about buying my personal “professional BGA Rework Station”
- In short time, I’ll discover that all “Professional BGA Rework Stations” prices are from $200 to $120.000… WOWWWW… I think that I will need more money and more research about what I’ll buy.
- After few months I decide about my “Professional Rework Station” dream, I will buy a PDR-Rework… https://www.pdr-rework.com/pdr-ir-e6-rework-station, was the closest to my ignorant study. What an ignorant I was, I believe all the misery that exist on the internet.
- But… I have luck, I have luck because I don’t have at this moment $70.000 in my wallet. This was my luck…
- In the time while I work, and I’ll raise the $70.000 to buy my dream… my dream…
- Disappeared!!! (Due to the… reverse engineering illness from which I suffer…), I study in detail all about his process… Are only a BIG SCAM!
- 2012-2017 – From time to time I’ll over and over research the internet for a real Professional BGA Rework Station. More and more electronic module with BGA come for repair, I’ll refuse them all, I have enough work without BGA Rework. But…
2017
- This year make me crazy with the modules that came with BGA fault and without possibility to repair them. This make me crazy, not for the money that I loose, but for my self pride… I can repair, but I don’t have a tool to use to repair. I say…
- Enough… It’s time to buy, or it’s time to manufacture, a real Professional BGA Rework Station.
- I look for the last time in the market, if in the last moment appeared something… It appeared… more copy / paste mistakes, more prices, more gurus, more… bullshits. Take in account that and…
- I’ll start my researches (from scientifically point of view) to build a Real Professional BGA Rework Station for me.
- What a huge ignorant I was… I’ll think that will be an easy task! I’ll was wrong.
- All my life I learn, but at that time, in 2017, I start the PhD… PhD that at nowadays I have in… BGA Rework Stations / selective soldering.
- I learn more… Physics, Chemistry, material technologies, last / NASA used technologies (what interest me and are… public ‘) ), more electronics hardware (microcontrollers, A/D – D/A converters, RF, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and so on…), more electronics software (Lab View, PID, Fuzzy Logic PID, AI, microcontrollers programmers and so on…). My plans were that in 2019 have my Really Professional BGA Rework Station.
2018 – end of the year, end of my experiment… (or that I think at that moment… I’ll was… ignorant… again), all technology tested, all my necessities tested and working, all puzzle piece of my project manufactured… What remain?! Assembly my puzzle, my hardware / software project, so simple… or… not…
In the images, you have some example from 2018 when I achieve my goals about power, all shapes from 5 to 60 mm, square, rectangle round… Perfect uniformity among entire chip area ±1 °C. Almost zero heating adjacent area / components, I can heat any BGA, metallic BGA included… I have sensors, bottom heater, I have AI assisted Fuzzy PID control, I have the software…

, I have all puzzle pieces… only joint them… together.
- NOT, it wasn’t simple…
- Wrong…
- 01/10/2019
I was the driver… Not on the crane… On my new Toyota Hilux… No sir, wasn’t the alcohol… It was almost 41 °C fever, was the grandfather of COVID-19. I faint in time that I drive.
- I went into a coma for about 5 months (less than 1% chance to survive… and if I’ll survive… a vegetable on a chair with wheels)
- 5 surgery to both arms
- Two cerebral hemorrhage
- 3 titanium plates
- Almost one year in hospital
- I learn again to breath
- I learn again to walk
- I learn again to speak
- I learn again to drive (scars on both arms)
- I learn again to write
- I change the mouse to left hand
- I learn again to smoke :)) (nobody is perfect…)
- And so on…
After all that… back to work, back to my… Project. But… My 2019 dead time for my project… was lost…
2020
- Lost in space… my project was…
- COVID-19 Pandemic time
- all the world he stopped suddenly… STOP for my project… Again…
2022
- Back to business, back to my project. The world starting.
To do… will be continued… do not forget to stay in touch ↓
