Talk:blacktop

Also a fraudulent thing done to a microchip?

• "I noticed that the top of them were slightly darker than the bottom, meaning they could be well "blacktopped" chips (aka removed from boards, had the original laser-etched part number removed and re-labeled as a different one)" [1]
• "Moulding marks very rarely have a texture in them, they are normally shiny. Texture in the molding marks suggests potential “blacktopping” (where chip is sanded down and then the top is painted with a black paint to recreate the texture of the package top)" [2]
