Hi all I am new to this forum and to the bga trade, first timer actually. I bought my machine off someone locally from craigslist from. I have been interested in fixing video game systems and computers for a while, but never really researched it much. I seen an add that someone had posted on craigslist selling their bga rework machine. It was someone's kid selling it, he said his dad had a shop and closed it up because he retired last year due to being sick and not able to work anymore.

I got it for $500 off him, for the machine only. I would need to buy thermometers, probes, stencils, jigs, flux and solder balls when I understand the machine better and learn which name brands are best to buy. Don't wanna buy the wrong supplies and end up repurchasing everything again later on. Not till I understand all of this process first. So I started researching everything from how to use and set up the machine to understanding everything there's to know first. I see that the most important thing people talk about, is building a good working reflow profile and that you need software to be able to follow a graph chart. Only problem, no one tells you what's the software called and where to get it from.

My machine is a honton 390. I contacted the kid that sold me the machine and and asked if he had a software cd for this machine or any other supplies for it. He said he really did not know anything about it.

He's in college and it was his dads business, and he was just selling what his mom told him to sell from the shop and that's all he knows. So If anyone can lead me into the right direction on what to do to obtain a software cd, I would really appreciate it. I have a rs232 to usb adapter, I know you need one of those too. Not sure if what I have will work or if honton has their own brand of rs232 cables that I need to use with the machine. I would also like to know what are the best supplies and tools to purchase.

Don't want to buy something that don't work good and have to repurchase again later. Free arcsoft photoimpression 4 download. Who better to ask, than the people on here with experience? Hope someone can help me out.

Thanks Justin88. Nonsense, no need to run this machine with any software.

It's very limited and the only advantage you get, if you're lucky to have it work fine for you, is to see a graphic of the temperature curve. Which is not necessary if you implement my method. The software has no control of the machine, all it does is send the settings to the controllers and show you a graph of the thermocouple. Only this very simple task and still has lots of issues doing it if you dont have a rs-232 controller it likes, or if honton didn't solder the external thermo-couple connector right etc.

It's 2015 and still there are people buying machines that have PC-410s.it's equivalent to buying a brand new iphone 1g today Not your case, but just for the record. Check these tutorials to get you started: [Only Registered and Activated Users Can See Links.

I seem to be misunderstanding a step to the concept of the bga reflow stage part 1 that I read. From my understanding there's two types of profiles one can use. The first one is called a linear profile or ramp profile, ( preheat stage ) going from room temperature to 140 Celsius in 180-190 seconds then ( soak or fat stage ) going from 140-217 Celsius in 90 seconds and finally ( TAL stage ) going from 217 when heating to 217 when cooling down in 40-50 seconds.
