Learn Electronics Repair #27 Desolder and Replace PCIe Slot Socket PCI E x16

Описание: Learn Electronics Repair #27 - PCIe Slot Replacement

I've sometimes seen high value motherboards for sale cheap as 'Spares or Repair' which have burnt out or damaged PCIe slots, and wondered if it was possible to repair this sort of fault and make a profit. So I thought I would have a look to see if it is possible to replace a PCIe x16 slot socket with fairly basic tools and equipment.

I googled for info on PCIe slot replacement and looked around on various computer and tech sites where people had asked about this. The general consensus of replies and opinions is that this is impossible. You would be crazy to even attempt it, they say. However I am not convinced that any of the people replying have actually tried to do this, so can they really give any advice?

So it got my interest, and as this is something I have not done before, I decided to try on a scrap board first.

This video is the result of the experiment. So is it possible to remove a standard PCIe slot (not an armoured one) without damaging the board? Watch to find out....
