Sometimes ago a heard that they desolater old chips from old boards - and refurb them by the same actions you describe as fake chip …. Doesn’t make it new - but maybe not fake but used /old /2nd hand.

But we have no idea what it actually is. Not keeping these for $8/chip. I can get them for 11 each for real ones from mouser and just ordered today. They shouldnt remark them and they are very likely used. China is reselling our waste from years ago like this.

@@TH3DStudio and all started from „clever Chinese Businessman’s“ during the chip-shortage time - and this is the remaining business from that times.

They have been doing this for long before the chip shortages. China loves remarking chips and selling them as stuff they are not.
