Product Description

CPU Drill MT6879 ISP Method – Advanced Motherboard Repair Technique

MediaTek MT6879 | Service-Level Use

The CPU Drill MT6879 ISP method is an advanced motherboard-level repair technique used when normal ISP points are not accessible on devices powered by the MediaTek MT6879 chipset.
In this method, technicians carefully drill the PCB layers to expose internal signal lines required for direct communication with the storage interface.

This is considered a last-resort solution and is used only by experienced professionals.
