It’s THE project of the weekend! I‘ve just been playing with the card reader so far. Reading and writing Boot0/1 and fullnand backups. So far so good. still a little sweaty about my dexterity but less concerned than I was initially!
e:
- get the 32G off the donor board.
- reball the 256G using the melty paste method.
- solder the 256 to the 32 donor board without blowing the chip away in the middle of the process!
taking a break before I have a mental meltdown.
I’m going to switch to a wider nozzle in hopes of taming the velocity of my air.
e2:
the larger nozzle was the right move. I have my 256G chip mounted.
flipped it over and I also unsoldered the FPC connector. Ungh.
just a quick tune-up, right?
nope. got a little too close and melted the body of the 30 pin FPC just as it was settling into place.
ordering a replacement now…
e3:
so apparently you have to be pretty stupid to do what I did because these 30 pin FPC connectors are super hard to find by themselves. Had to order a new donor board. FFS
