I know nothing about Xbox specific rework, but have a lot of experience with PCB repairs. "...maybe think its a bad idea now not knowing what im doing" Don't get discouraged, it's a learning process. If it was that easy everyone would be doing it.

I recently saw a brief presentation on selective cleaning using Co2. In basic terms a fine jet of Co2 is blasted onto the desired area of the PCB removing the contamination and supposedly causing no damage to PCB or components. I think it's quite a n

We here at Precision PCB Services, Inc. Perform selective ball removal. We just completed a job today where we removed 4 balls, and then installed traces to dog-bone the pads at two locations on 30 BGA's. An eaisier and more cost effective solutio

Look into Dicone NC9. We used this years ago to remove silicone from some printed circuit cards. As I recall it did not have any adverse effects on the pcb.

Any company reclaiming desired metals will be interested. Some of the companies also take used PCB's for the metal content. It is not very profitable but does help. Metal reclaim companies can be found on the net. One company that might be interested

Hi, Another option we have used here in house is to remove the unwanted BGA balls with solder wick, and then to manually place them on the PCB foot print. This eliminates the pick and place machine's optical centering freaking out because the balls

Russ, first step would be to get IPC-7095 on BGAs. A few notes: There can be voids in solder balls, or at the solder joints to the BGA, or at the solder joints to the PCB. Various sources or reasons can be responsible for these voids. Voids can be

Several methods work well. 1. (Low Volume Method) Using an Xacto blade, scrape off the solder mask holding the blade flush being careful not to use the pointed part of the blade. 2. (High Volume Method)Tape off the area that you don't want the mas

We have seen the black dot on the BGA pad after the component has been removed from a PCB. When most likely could this corrosion have occurred, while the component was in storage, during manufacturing of the unit? We have a number of these BGA's th

The black pads that we see are on the BGA component. We removed the component from its site and on 2-3 pads 100% of the ball stuck to the pad on the PCB and the corresponding BGA pad was black.
