I tripped and fell on my iBook causing it to no longer function. Upon
disassembly, I discovered the HD to be *bent* and shattered. In
addition to that, the logic board is damaged as well. The damage is
restricted to one IC which is located on the "bottom" of the board
near where the HD ribbon attaches. What has happened is while the IC
has remained attached to the board, the top of the IC popped off.
I do not know much about IC, esp. how physical alterations will affect
performance. If there is anyone in this group that does, your advice
will be greatly appreciated.
What I would like to do is blow it out to remove the moisture/dirt,
and then glue the top back on. Is this possible or am I sol?
Thanks.
Russell
What type of IC is it ? BGA or quad flat ? Quad flat can be fixed
fairly easily, BGA is another thing.
