      They said this also works for 2011 as long as you have High Sierra which makes sense since it adds NVMe support.

        iBOFF is a good company - we have used their service to upgrade an iMAC with soldered memory to support 16GB. Very professional company to work with. They inspired us to buy our own BGA rework station - just need more caffeine to work on all these logic boards.

            We purchased the ZM-R720C from Seamark (China). They are a very strong manufacturer of such equipment in Asia and supply clients like Foxconn and others. We are just guilty of not using the equipment as of this writing. Took 4 of us to lift the beast onto the table top. Have some pending purpose to rework a number of BGAs so will use it 'soon'. This is a fully automated tool to remove / apply BGA devices. You will have to manually clean the SMD pads of the solder. The design is supposedly a very close competitor to PACE (from our reviews). Similar PACE unit is about $60K USD.

            Inspired by Louis' video from many years ago using their older version of the tools for GPU replacement - we contacted this supplier. The vendor has greatly improved the quality and with our feedback, applied HD cameras which are razor sharp.

            We are designing with BGA devices down to 1.4*1.4mm size (16 balls; WLCSP = Lattice ICE40UL1K FPGA) and this tool can work with down to 0.5*0.5mm SMD devices which is the smallest in the BGA rework industry.

            Latest catalog from them is attached. If you are interested, PM me and can share the contacts at their factory. I know that someone local here in Ontario, Canada purchased a unit from our feedback to date and they love the equipment. They may have some local reps in the US but try to work with them directly for the best pricing. You will find lower cost models from other competitors but cannot confirm if they will be in business in the future, if you need spare parts for repair, etc.
