MK4025GAS - PCB swap

[shaun]

Hi all,

I've a Toshiba MK4025 here with the PCB drained in orange juice. The microvias below the BGA chip are well corroded, so I'll give it a try with a PCB swap. Can anyone confirm whether swapping the serial flash (IC12) would suffice?

I believe so.

You should swap it.
