I read that the WiFi IC on the Nintendo Switch can break, requiring reflowing / reballing / replacement. Can this be prevented by placing a thermal pad between the WiFi IC and the RF shield?
This would prevent the IC from overheating and breaking the connections underneath it, I think. It would at least remove a bit of heat from the chip. Unless the breakage is caused by something else.
Let me know what you guys think.
