How do I replace / remove the Murata wifi/bluetooth module?

Do I have to de-solder the chip from the logic board? Is there any guide on how to do it?

Why are you doing this? The Apple TV won’t work properly without it. And you really can’t swap out the unit to something else.

You will need a hot air rework system to carefully desolder the chip. You should practice on some junk as it’s also easy to damage the solder pads underneath if you are not careful. But before you start assuming the chip has failed make sure you have the correct replacement.
