In any case, if I was repairing a drive and had oto desolder a chip
like this, I would fit a new one.
It is, but then, I don't know the recovery house's procedures. It
could also be that one of the more common failures is that the RoHS
solder is less than optimal for the job and that reflowing the
connections often clears things up. I don't know--I haven't seen
enough Deathstars to say.
For all we know, the $800 fee was for 5 minutes of work with a
