I should get one with mushrooms!

Xray cannot do the job due to pin count of flip chip solder bumps are stacked on top of each other in a 2D xray scan. 

Even if the 2D scan is tilted to give a 3D effect, xrays still cannot resolve solder bump cracks.

The Pheonix sales will tell you that they can do it but acoustic microscopy is the proper way to resolve a bump crack.

Well, we're cheap bastards and just go to our local stomatology center to take some x-ray pictures of failed boards.
Not even near a tomography, but usually works anyway.

From the complete twaddle posted, and the curious use of caps, I suspect Untrue is none other than AManFromMars who normally frequents The Rogister.

Look at Green Section, You Might get Pic that clear, yet Tomography looks for HOT Spots in Body, AS thats where Problem often lies. Its Your IMAGINATION expressed as Photoshop in rest. Maybe it'd work in No choice situation, mostly doubtful.

Just to Add Final HECToR. HECToR is CRAY Machine on Loan to United Kingdom National Police. Mr. Roos Can Speak, Yet NOT Much for HECToR, Who Had ?Sexto Core To Develope.Or At Least Snoope Snooping.. So going with Logical of Someflames whom has me confused with Uncle Adolf,(Personal Problems) Di Meaning Doubled, rk r=research & K=$,. Myers is OLD Guard in US, 3rd Infant ry. So maybe twelve cores or better than HECToR in Nameology..

Charlie:

Wouldn't this X-ray scanner make a great tool to investigate exactly why Nvidia laptop (and possibly desktop) 8300/8400 GPU's are failing? I thought that you would have squeezed that suggestion into your article. Perhaps Phoenix could be provided with a failing Nvidia part, and the scanned result posted on the Inq?
