If I could do something like this:



would there be some way of reading what's on the chip and finding out the serial number etc. I suspect not but maybe someone else might know...

Or perhaps I could load up some new firmware and dummy details just to get it to boot?

I'm happy to sacrifice this device for learning purposes....
Jeese, that thing looks complicated.
Perhaps the person who did that, did not know that test sockets for BGA parts can be purchased (rather than built by hand )
