## Disassembly Instructions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You must remove the following parts to access the SPI flash:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Battery pack
|
||
|
|
* Keyboard
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Its [Hardware Maintenance Manual](https://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/43y9441.pdf) can be used as a guidance of disassembly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The WSON-8 flash chip (surrounded with red circle in the photo above,
|
||
|
|
already replaced with a SOIC-8 one) sits under a piece of insulating
|
||
|
|
tape. If solders between the chip and soldering pads fortunately
|
||
|
|
overflows beside the chip as tiny tin balls attached to soldering pads,
|
||
|
|
it will be possible to use a pomona 5250 clip to hold the chip, with
|
||
|
|
its metal tips just attached to tin balls, thus connecting the chip to
|
||
|
|
the programmer. Otherwise, it may be recommended to replace it with a
|
||
|
|
SOIC-8 one (you might need to add the chip to the IFD VSCC list), as
|
||
|
|
what is done in the photo.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The vendor IFD VSCC list contains:
|
||
|
|
-MACRONIX_MX25L6405 (0xc2, 0x2017)
|
||
|
|
-WINBOND_NEX_W25X64 (0xef, 0x3017)
|
||
|
|
-ATMEL_AT25DF641 (0x1f, 0x4800)
