I had recently encounter the "black and grey" pads problems for the BGA pad after the convection re-flow. The pads shows in in "black and grey" color and a litter solder in it, and it happen in ramdom, when applied heat and solder on the "black and g

Please give us additional background on your board, solder, process, etc. If you are talking about black pad in ENIG solderability preservative, check the fine SMTnet archives to get started.

From the pic, it looks like you have a bad board; ENIG process issue. It used to be called black pad for SMT but I'm sure it's the same condition for T/H. Any good electronic lab should be able to id the black stuff. I would also send raw boards bac
