Chosen Solution The RF board has long screw damage causing sound and performance issue. The PCB has so many layers which means it’s almost impossible to trace and connect the missing links. Can the RF chips be transferred to other RF working board? My assumption is only LTE, WiFi and Bluetooth chips are necessary to be transferred. Please let me know your thoughts. I’m not sure I understand your question. If you have another working board, why would you move the RF chips?...
