The fifth and sixth photos clearly indicate the lid was forced open at once, quite badly.

It might have died due to a failed delidding attempt. The die could have broken, and they simply reattached the lid while selling you a now-faulty chip.

Yeah that could be right, but its a fake pcb, the gnd plane is not connected anywhere and there is no continuity between any pins
