Sorry my english is not so good but i want to find the EFI Chip on my MBA mid 2012 (i think its A1466 - this number stays on the backplate , on the battery stands A1405)

i attached 2 Pictures and it would be great if someone could help me.

The MBA Easy Flash isnt on stock already and i need to unlock the EFI.

Thank you very much for your help

HEADS UP! That is not the efi chip posted by Med_Outgha
It is found on the underside of the board, it is a BGA chip, look at this picture as it is marked for you.
Not easy to attach leads, best to do it to the traces and there is a picture here on the site


Looks to be a Micron Numonyx ST flash chip N25Q064 3E, I have done many of the 13" Mid 2012 Air's

Thanks Cyber16 for that correction as the results of a bad flash would be devastating for that board. I think the other SOIC8 depicted was part of the network module at first glance.
