Hi Syafril,
This need to be go through the Failure Analysis (FACR) to only know the cause of failure.
However, I apologies as we can't proceed with FACR if not reaching the minimum amount of failure units.

Hi Syafril,
It depends on the device family. For Cyclone IV GX, it needs minimum three device affected with the same failure.

Hi Aqid,
Thank you for the response. Please help to advise whether it is possible to proceed with the FA submission with only one pcs of the defected part and if there is any additional cost.
Please help to advise what additional information needed if it is possible.
