Is it possible to replace the WIFI IC chip?

The Wi-Fi chip on the iPad Pro M1 is failed due to a short. (I checked it clearly through the logic board check. A short circuit between GND and VCC occurred inside the chipset.)

So the Wi-Fi chip needs to be replaced, and the iPad needs to change the Wi-Fi address in NAND when changing the Wi-Fi chip.

But from what I heard, no NAND programmer can perform the Wi-Fi address Unlock on the M1 NAND. Is this true? Is it impossible to repair it at all?

Most WiFi/Bluetooth chips have a BIA programmed MAC address within them. So I’m not sure if the chip Apple uses follows the majority of setups. For the sake of argument it it does then you should be able to replace the chip without dealing with the systems firmware.

But you first need to find the needed part, the parts spec sheet should also tell you how the MAC address is set either BIA or programmed.
