What chips I have to replace? Activation lock. Is it possible?

Hello all!

I've got simple question. Is it possible to change some chips to solve problem with activation lock (iphone is not locked by find my iphone, only i don't know password for latest used iCloud account on it)?

Can I do that in home without special tools? I know how to disassamble whole iphone, but i have never fight with soldering things to the Logic Board. Now I have chance to have some fun with Logic Board!

Thanks in advance!

You will actually need 2 sets of logicboards, complete with chips, some really expensive soldering equipment, and extremely steady hands.

You would need to swap memory, touchID, and a few other chips. This is a high risk endeavor if you don't have much experience with micro solder, and since you need to sets of chips, it gets expensive too.
