SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 03/05/2014 10:05 pm Yep. Let's have a look at the reverse cracks, if any, and see what we can do about attributing this one. The cracking around 9-2 is distinctive, and narrows things down somewhat. I lean VAM-1L at the moment. Report this Post to the Staff

bkprewitt Valued Member United States 157 Posts	Posted 03/06/2014 10:19 pm Thanks for the informative replies thus far. Here are some pics of the reverse, including zooms on the areas in which I think might have more die cracks. If there are other areas I should provide zooms for diagnostics, let me know!

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 03/07/2014 01:23 am The AM was all I needed to see. It's an early die state of VAM-1L; that chip between the A and M becomes a full-fledged break into the denticles in a later state. Sorry I can't post pics or links - I'm on my smartphone during lunch at work. Report this Post to the Staff
