The SanDisk is surface mounted to the motherboard,
I certainly would not try removing it.
To avoid removing epoxy, we need to find a backdoor.
Either making a HD look like the old Sandisk,
so it boots and the old hacks work.
or find another way to login to QNX.
Like cracking the new passwords and getting to a login prompt.
I wonder if you can login the serial port?
