[@pryme5837]

6:57 I don't get it: Why are you cnc grinding off the old NAND, if you're going to heat up & remove the remains anyway? I mean you could just heat up and remove the entire NAND? Thx for explaination :-)

[@maciejk2]

i think that he does that because of the fact that motherboard is in reality 2 (or now more, i dont know) pcbs soldered together. i can only guess but if theres a reason for this, its that hot airing the entire thing would cause serious issues

[@ridinggoose4169]

I suppose the temperature of the hot air soldering station needed to remove the black resin would melt away the adjacent solder and/or components. CNC grinding it allows him to use the tip of the soldering iron at that higher temperature (while using the hot air for a better heat spread), but on a smaller area, without affecting the other components/solder.

[@dersebbler9452]

The solder he uses to clean the pads is lead based solder, and that has a much lower metling point to the factory lead free stuff. Thats why he mills the Nand chip away, so he can mix the two solders, lowering the melting point and therefore not run the risk of removing components or weakening factory solder joints.

[@CL-yp1bs]

Lead free solder melts too high. Replace with leaded solder, much safer temperature, no damage.

[@kingsener]

CNC is the safest and most efficient way. Using a hot air gun to remove it normally will cause irreversible damage to other components on the motherboard.

[@kingsener]

When expanding the capacity of an iPhone, the main steps include backing up data, selecting the appropriate expansion method, performing the expansion operation, and restoring data. In this process, although all important data in the device needs to be backed up to ensure that no important information is lost during the expansion process, this does not include WIFI and MAC addresses. These network configuration information are usually automatically restored when the device restores data, so there is no need to back it up separately on the new NAND.
