repairable motherboard iPhone 6? (nand desoldering problem)

hi all, I bought an iphone 6 with error 4013

I bought all the material to desolder the memory nand

For me it is the first time even if I have experiences in the electronic world

I used a 350 C ° air pump but after 10 minutes it still did not desolder

After 15 minutes finally the nand has finally come off but the result is this:

all nand pins are red \ brown

I do not understand what happened

is it possible to fix it again?

Thanks

Did you use a BGA reflow gun? What did you use to remove the NAND?

Ooh...that's a lot of damage!

First things first. Desoldering the NAND should not have taken 15 minutes to come off. Either your nozzle was too small or your airflow was too low. 350C is lower than what I normally use but it should work okay. Most techs use 360-380C for MGA work on iDevices. The thing you have to remember is that you need to get the NAND up to ~220C depending on the alloy used. That means you need to push some air that is hot enough to get the IC and the board up to that temperature. Once you achieve the melting point, you can remove the IC. The NAND however is held in place with underfill, a kind epoxy so even if your solder is melted, you still have to pry the IC off the board.

You either waited too long, applied too much heat and damaged the pcb mask (what covers the traces) or the opposite, you didn't get enough heat and you pried the IC when the board isn't ready. Unfortunately, the picture isn't clear enough.

The second thing is that you should never do something new "for the first time" on a device that is valuable, has valuable data or is a customer device. The videos on Youtube make it look easy but it takes practice, lot's of it, in order to do it cleanly.

Search for videos on applying uv-curable solder mask. Depending on the damage to the board, you may be able to recover it. Also try to post a better focussed picture so that I can give you better guidance.

I thank you for the very useful answers

I also wanted to ask you why the pins are brown both on the side of the nand that on the motherboard side. In both cases I feel that there is a thickness on the various pins as if they were encrusted. I wanted to understand if the pond resides under those pins or has completely detached itself

However I will post later some more detailed photos
