    Well that’s not very “green” coming from a company who stopped supplying customers with chargers “because of the environment.” When a hard drive craps out the only solution is to replace the entire board rather than a single part with an industry standard connector?

        Of course not, the “Bios” is stored on the SSD, so if you replace it your computer won’t even boot.

        Oh, and if your SSD dies it won’t boot too.

        Removing individual soldered NAND chips directly connected to the motherboard, attaching new NAND chips, and somehow getting a working computer out the other end is so far beyond the abilities of most users that it’s not even funny.

        It’s way beyond the skillset of even most computer repair specialists too.

        In fact, in terms of “getting it working again” is concerned, anyone outside of an Apple assembly plant is unlikely to be much use.
