i desoldered this flash a while back to map out the testpoints (https://lab.whitequark.org/notes/2018-09-17/game-boy-advance-cartridge-smc805-2/ …) and i just reballed it and soldered it back and it worked basically the first time. (i had to heat it up the second time because my flux gel is a very gnarly, very not bga ooze)pic.twitter.com/qL3EGPBAGF

until now, the only thing that prevented me from disassembling and reverse-engineering literally everything i meet was that i couldn't put anything with bgas back. now... now i am unstoppable!! INFINITE POWER HAHAHA

i normally don't, clomipramine makes my hands shake way too much to even solder a single 1.5sqmm wire in half a hour for some reason it does that less recently, and i'm really lucky about that, yes
