"BGA at home", I'd never touch that.
A person w/o experience and/or rework station is likely to meet frustration only. It's a futile effort in my opinion.
The inspection part is bang on - what if there is a short and it just burns the traces. Now the thing is not repairable even by a professional repair service.
I am just a programmer... totally for right to repair, open schematics, easily to source components, etc. I can repair electronics, incl. SMD soldering on laptops, LED light fixtures, diagnose home appliances but I'd not touch any BGA. Or heat pump water/fluid subsystem or high pressure vessels -- and I'd prefer if I'd buy a house with any of them installed not to have been repaired w/o care and experience.
