The 8800 worked a treat for the next two months before it all went tits up again.

To be honest it looks like the BGA on that is too far gone anyways - reflow may cause shorting across the balls if you got a proper liquid reflow on it.
Holy ****! You saved my life!
My eMMC was completely detached, but your trick worked! Already made a BackupMenu-backup and transferred it to my PC. Now I am backing up MyDocs
I had to re-create one of the "balls" with a tiny peace of tin-solder, align the chip to the two markings on the PCB, and then the board (without camera and keyboard mat) got fried for 10 minutes at 200 deg. C (close to the heating element). I don't expect it to survive the next few days, but all the stored data is save now
Thanks again, this forum is awesome!
