Hello there 
Got a console in with BLOD. Symptoms:
That last point is what puzzles me: if the fault followed the chip, I'd expect the error to move to Bank 6. Since it stays on Bank 5, I'm leaning towards something on the board side or the APU itself rather than the memory IC. Maybe something else that I can check related to the bank 5 components around on the back of the board and some components are failed there?
Bank #5 pad area was adjusted with solder mask to exclude any potential balls soldering together and looks like this:
Board: [CFI-1216A , PS5 FAT EDM-033]
Any ideas what to check next, or has anyone seen the issue like this?
Got a console in with BLOD. Symptoms:
- Fan spins up
- Blue light for ~2 seconds, then power off
- Currently the only error in UART:

- Replaced RAM chip #5 with a new one - same error
- Diode mode check with threshold 1.5v on the RAM pads to rule out a broken connection of lifted APU pads— all values fine
- Swapped chips #5 and #6 — error still reports Bank 5, not Bank 6
