I'm assuming the fracture in tension; the fracture doesn't show even at X50. The broken edges are that clean. I would expect spalling at the fracture edges if it were a compression or torsional fracture. This makes me belive the board expands and pul

At first glance you would think so. But just as in real life manufacturing, EVERY problem can be solder related. Naturally the problems with broken parts, wrong parts, parts made wrong etc... are generally found right ways, so no one really posts t

Hi, when they did the reflow with the south bridge chipset they took a heat gun and went arround the chip in circles. This is what I did with the broken apple motherboard. I covered the board in tinfoil and cut out the squares arround the gpu, cpu an

Thank you all for the great responses. We to looked at tne Mirtec before settling on the YesTech. I felt the machine software was better structured and organized and the system caught more faults on our "broken" board than the other system did (We

| | | | | We're running into problems with board damage (broken traces, solder shorts) due to pliers and other bizarre tools being used for depanelization. I need some sort of fixture for this. A delrin plate with a slot cut to the correct depth and

We also have a few customers that seem to buy the cheapest LEDs available and provide them for the build. We've had complete reels that had obviously been exposed and oxidized. You can try a solder with a more aggressive flux. How long is your pro

Hi I did a reflow on an HP laptop a while back- it was a DV6000 series. The original problem was the internet stopped working- turns out the south bridge chipset was causing the issue (its a very common issue I found out after searching online). Some

I assembly boards that have 200 each of the MICTOR connectors. The boards are .300" thick. I have 100% solder fill in the holes. I also have developed a rework process so I can remove and replace the connectors if the they get broken by my custome

Our engineers did a study on our medical product with 1mils standoff height, and one issue was 100% of the boards that underwent ultrasonic failed due to failure of the package wirebonding. Poor reflow control would be one area to review in any event
