      Exactly ? I am well aware of that ... so maybe it needs a completely different approach and I am happy to say I have now found where they can be purchased ..thanks

        If you've had enough BGA rework experience and a proper BGA rework machine, it's no different than replacing other BGA chips.

            It's heat resistant plastic IIRC. Won't melt at the temperatures used for soldering/reworking, but if you overheat it, then it will melt. Most onboard connectors and slots are like that too.
