Interesting use of a salt solution to weep into the broken parts to make contact. I personally would be shitting diamonds if I was reduced to this, it seems like it would be way too easy to short out the board with this method, especially when the packaging is so badly mangled.

I probably would have tried slowly and carefully whittling away the plastic near where the bond wires used to be to try to expose some metal first before using this salt water bath idea, but if it works it works.

This is a big enough package that it has a lead frame, and same, I would have been using mechanical removal processes to gain access to it.
