Hello to all,
I've been prepping an ATI graphics card for sorting.
After i exposed what looked like a chip under the heatsink, i made the following finding: under the cap is a board. This board has some gold plating exposed. However under the solder mask is a nice layer of gold plating which makes it nice a candidate for a solder removing bath (elsewhere on the forum).
I don't have many of these so it'll be hard to give yield results.
If some of you bothered dismanteling these i have a question:
Under the cap was a foil of silvery shiny metal. The amount is such that it's tiny to be tested. Has any of you knowledge of what it is? Al, Pt, Pd?
My bests to all
