Profiles are absolutely the first course of action to validate. A few additional questions would be: * Moisture can cause warping as well, verify the manufacturers recommended handling procedures were followed. * Where is the suspect BGA located

A good resource for implementing/evaluating a BGA process is IPC-7095C - "Design and Assembly Process Implementation for BGAs". I get no monetary or other compensation for promoting that standard but it is fun to mention that a board assembled by my

Right. That's what we normally do for our customers in order to just qualify a process. I'd just add X-ray, particularly on a large BGAs. Regards, Vlad SENTEC TESTING Laboratory Inc.

Hola, I'm about to evaluate our BGA capabilities by using a dummy PCB+Components kit, I'll be evaluating solder paste, pick n place, reflow process & rework method. I have an idea of how to validate these processes. I'm planning to send different sa

A full blown analysis could become very expensive. There are many test that can be performed. 3D acoustic microscopy, X-ray, Dye and pry,and I'm sure the list goes on. Typically, a micro-cross section report of the BGA solder joints will show you w

If you want a step by step guide on BGA look at my NPL/IPC "Defect of the Month" video clips https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MC4K0eSXH18 For other process issues there are also videos which may assist on other process issues like voids, solder ball

We recently had a very similar issue with BGA breaking off at the pad. We sent samples to a lab for SEM / EDX and they found that there was no intermatalic with the nickel, or very little do to high phosphorus. I recommend you get a board to a lab AS

I'd guess that the interconnect pads on the BGA have poor solderability. Confirm this with testing at an independent lab. Work with your supplier to resolve the issue.

For lab, the bga rework station should with good quality, good brand have nice service, for machine, should use it more than 8-15years, the brand what you writen is good brand, but i still reommend zm r7850A BGA rework station for you, this machine c

Hi, We are PCBA production company which factory's located in Vietnam. Somtime, we have to analyse failure of product to find out the root cause (ex: Micro-crack of solder joint under BGA IC...). We are searching labs around Asia (Vietnam, Malaysia,
