Ram Infotech repairs laptop motherboards with failed BGA chips — graphics (GPU), chipset/PCH and other ball-grid-array ICs — using BGA rework stations and controlled heating profiles. If your laptop powers on with no display, shows lines or artifacts, or crashes under load, a BGA fault may be the cause. We diagnose first, explain whether reballing or chip replacement is needed, and share an estimate before work starts. Available through our 10 Chennai branches.
BGA rework is the process of removing, re-soldering or replacing a Ball Grid Array (BGA) chip on a laptop motherboard. BGA chips — such as the graphics processor (GPU), chipset (PCH / south bridge) or a soldered CPU — connect to the board through hundreds of tiny solder balls underneath. Heat cycles over time can crack these joints or damage the chip. A rework station heats the chip with a controlled temperature profile so it can be lifted, the pads cleaned, new solder balls applied (reballing) and the chip — or a replacement — soldered back precisely.

Warning signs
Signs Your Laptop May Need BGA Rework
These symptoms can also come from RAM, display or power faults, so a proper diagnosis comes first.
Laptop powers on, fans spin, but no display
Vertical lines, blocks or colour artifacts on screen
Display driver crashes or "display driver stopped responding"
Blue screen (BSOD) or freezing during games or video editing
Laptop works only after pressing or warming the board
Overheating followed by shutdown or no-boot

Reflow vs Reballing vs Chip Replacement
Method
What it does
When it is used
Durability
Reflow
Reheats the existing solder balls without removing the chip
Rarely recommended; quick test only
Often temporary
Reballing
Removes the chip, cleans pads, applies new solder balls and re-solders it
Cracked or weak solder joints, chip itself healthy
Long-lasting when done correctly
Chip replacement
Replaces the failed BGA chip with a new or tested chip
Chip is damaged, burnt or internally failed
Long-lasting; depends on chip availability
Our process
How We Do BGA Rework
Diagnosis
We check power rails, RAM, display and the chip to confirm a BGA fault — not guess it.
Estimate
You get the recommended fix (reballing or replacement), cost and time before work starts.
Controlled rework
Board preheating and a temperature profile matched to the chip help prevent warping.
Testing
The laptop is stress-tested for display, drivers and heat before handover.

Other Motherboard Repairs We Handle
⚡
Dead laptop / no power
Short circuits, power IC, charging circuit and MOSFET faults.
The final price is confirmed after diagnosis. It mainly depends on:
Chip type
Standard graphics chips cost less than high-end gaming or workstation GPUs.
Reball or replace
Reballing a healthy chip costs less than replacing a damaged chip.
Chip availability
Some chips must be sourced, which can affect price and time.
Other board damage
Additional faults found during diagnosis are quoted separately.
As a guide, BGA rework for standard graphics chips typically ranges from ₹2,500 to ₹4,500, and for high-end gaming/workstation GPUs from ₹4,500 to ₹6,500. Chip replacement, if required, is quoted separately. Check current offers →

Got questions?
Laptop BGA Rework – FAQs
What is laptop BGA rework?
BGA rework is the repair of a Ball Grid Array chip on a laptop motherboard, such as the GPU, chipset or a soldered CPU. The chip is heated with a controlled profile, removed, the pads are cleaned, new solder balls are applied and the chip or a replacement is soldered back.
What are the symptoms of a failed BGA or GPU chip?
Common signs are power on with no display, vertical lines or artifacts on screen, display driver crashes, blue screens or freezing during gaming, and a laptop that works only when the board is pressed or warmed. A diagnosis is needed to confirm the cause.
What is the difference between BGA reflow and reballing?
Reflow only reheats the existing solder balls and is often a temporary fix. Reballing removes the chip, cleans the pads, applies fresh solder balls and re-solders the chip, which is longer lasting. If the chip itself is damaged, it must be replaced.
How much does laptop BGA rework cost in Chennai?
At Ram Infotech, BGA rework typically ranges from ₹2,500 to ₹4,500 for standard graphics chips and ₹4,500 to ₹6,500 for high-end gaming and workstation GPUs. Chip replacement is quoted separately and the final price is confirmed after diagnosis.
Which laptops do you provide BGA rework for?
We rework gaming and business laptops including Dell Alienware, HP Omen and Pavilion, Lenovo Legion and ThinkPad, Asus ROG and TUF, Acer Predator and Nitro, Apple MacBook and MSI.
How long does BGA rework take?
BGA rework with testing usually takes 24 to 48 hours. It can take longer if a replacement chip has to be sourced or other board faults are found.
Is there a warranty on BGA rework?
Ram Infotech provides a service warranty on BGA rework. Warranty terms depend on the repair type and are written on your job card, so please confirm them with the branch.
Can BGA rework fix every no-display laptop?
No. No display can also be caused by RAM, the screen, the display cable or power circuits. We diagnose the board first and only recommend BGA rework when a chip fault is confirmed.
