It is random. By the way, this board pass thought wave process, (BGA is at the top), will that cause the older short issue?

What about your printer and your stencil ? Do you have a problem with misalignment between pcb and stencil ? How often do you clean your stencil during production ? Maybe you have smearing under the stencil because there is a snapoff between stencil

Blew chunks - thanx for thinking outside the box. Of course there's two sides to every story. Just last week I had a new operator "splash" a couple of boards. Top solder was great, it was all one big solder bridge. Come to find out, the operator forg
