Beware of #PowerDensity scams!
"Without incorporating metal enclosure, cooling fan, and line filter, the numbers for power density of a #PowerConverter can be misleading." ~Bob White
When you hear a power density figure, ask if it includes Enclosure-Fan-Filter.

I had a GaN based power converter board with broken transistors. This is a six layer board with lots of power planes. Desoldering the GaN chips is very hard so I decided to try milling the thing off.

It worked perfectly. I milled almost down to the pads leaving a bit of the package. After the milling step a small cleanup is necessary.
