[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1882523, member: 396914"] It's all soldered onto the logic board, using surface soldering, so getting it replaced, while potentially theoretically possible, requires specialized equipment and the parts. Apple isn't selling M1 SoC parts, AFAIK. All of which means sending it back to Apple, who will probably just pull the logic board and replace it altogether. As for grousing about bootable backups, the issue is partly that the Big Sur implementation of what is called "asr" is broken so what CCC and SD! previously used (asr) no longer makes the backup bootable, for the Intel systems that run Big Sur. So, there are two inter-related issues. 1) asr is broken, and 2) M1s are not bootable from external sources in any case. The first issue impacts the older Intel systems as well as M1, but solving that won't fix problem 2. It's not really CCC's or SD!'s fault, it is a bug with Apple that they seemed disinclined to fix quickly and which will be moot when all new systems are the SoC architecture. [/QUOTE]
