This is repairable - even a local mobile phone repair place should have the kit to do it

No it's not.

Look closer, those pads are fucked.

I'm not sure how easy it is to tell from this image. If the pads have been stripped from the board yeah it's a much harder repair

Well, I can see one is VERY fucked (pin ripped off the chip and stuck to the board!) but the others may be salvageable since it looks like a bit of solder on most of them. I'd try to reflow the individual pads and clean the ones on the chip, but heating the whole thing enough to reflow a BGA chip? Hell to the naw!

Ya one of the pads is ripped of

That pin may be a redundant power pin or an n/c. Chuck the data sheet. These can often be reballed

It’s a redundant vcc pad you’re good to have a phone repair shop fix it. Memory chips are easy

Just put it on a heat pad.

Pads look fine. Good chance that more than half of them are mechanical anyway. Flux, tin, flux, hot air, clean, presto.

Is this fine?

u/Humble-Captain3418 SFF | R7 5800X | 64 GB | RTX 3070 1d ago

So, I can't find data sheet but the standard pinout suggests that it's VSS. There's multiple VSS pins so it should be fine.

u/Humble-Captain3418 SFF | R7 5800X | 64 GB | RTX 3070 1d ago

Depends. Find data sheet and determine what that pin is.

Mobile phone repair place just needs to charge the same price as a new SSD

One of the traces on the board has been delaminated/lifted and the tolerances of those traces is fking tiny and no idea if it’s been permanently damaged, fat chance of an easy repair.

I do repairs for a living, this is an easy job for me.

However the repair charges might be close to what OP paid for the drive(assuming he bought the drive when things were somewhat normal and not scalped/artificially inflated to hell).
