alt Hacker NewsWhat tools do you use for BGA soldering? I’ve seen people (well, dosdude1) using board preheaters and hot air stations, but I could never justify the expense for the amount of board rework I actually do.

Hot plate, flux pen, hot air gun.
Important caveat: The downside to this is you can't inspect it (without an x-ray machine), and if you screw up, you're going to need a new chip (Re-balling does not look approachable/time-efficient)
