I have a GK003267 flash board that seems to be corrupted or has a bad chip. I sent this off to be flashed and it instantly gave an error before flashing.
Once I got it back it wouldn't boot so the company replaced the flash board and I was able to keep this one.

Does anyone possibly fix this flash boards? I would like to try and get it fix so I could setup another Gameking to 044.

Thanks!

The nand flash chips on those are notoriously touchy about ESD. It's probably toast. That said a hot air replacement of the bad chips is feasible if you have the equipment and enough donor boards to justify starting repairs.
The flash burner unit I use, typically indicates which chips are bad, so that's handy, but for now I have not attempted reworks. Just markup the chips and store the boards for now.
