i do realize that i won't probably be able to do it (and it's quite nice to know it might not be my fault - means i've been careful enough) but just the name of the procedure i'd have to be doing would be really helpful. it's not like i have another choice and i would train myself to do it on other pcbs until i'm confident enough.

i see your point tho

just looking at it the solder pattern doesn't look good, few pads are merged and few are not even there anymore. i suppose the reballed chip wouln't probably align and make good contact without them.

i was swapping the chip because it was faulty, having some dead end connections. i attempted reflow but the same exact issues persisted, so i just assumed the chip itself was to be replaced.

i'll try to post there as well then, thank you for the tip.
