As mentioned above, it might have some sort of debug port that can be accessed. Is that an ARM core with some SA specific bits in there?
The TSOP doesn't look like it has been removed but I know it is possible to do it very cleanly. Having said that, the chinagraph pencil mark on the top would probably get smudged by any cleaning solvent used to remove flux.
I've not seen any SA4250s but I'll keep my eyes open .
I've got a TSOP56 SMT clamshell socket to put on a PCB . The programming algorithm is available for that Intel part I believe. SA sometimes use non-standard flash parts which have an unknown one. A good place to put a MAC would be in the 'hidden' OTP sector of the flash if it has one, I haven't looked at the datasheet. Some flash have a true OTP address for things like that.
