slow your heating ramp down. You are "tater-chipping" the BGA.

Have you considered adding adhesive / epoxy at the corners of the BGA to secure it in place?

I think the answers to the problem have been given but if anyone wants to see this happening and solder shorts forming during corner warp there is a video clips on BGA shorts to download. Its available free on http://www.bobwillis.co.uk It should am

Hi Mantis. Has there been any changes in the BGA itself? One of our BGAs changed to a newer type, and after that we had problems with corner lifting. In that case problem was BGA's structure, there was mismatch in TCE between BGA's substrate and mo

Try putting a .010" shim under each corner during rework reflow. This will keep corner balls from shorting out.

All, I was wondering what causes the corners of a bga to lift during reflow process.Now just to clarify i have been running this one particular product for 4 years and i have the process and reflow profile down to a tee.But recently i have witnessed

I have been trying to rework a lead-free BGA. For some reason, when I remove the BGA the corner pads on the board come off and the board must be scrapped. If I do manage to remove the BGA successfully, when I solder the BGA, the corners of the BGA

Any suggestions as to what can cause a PBGA's corner to warp down during installation process on a rework system? A couple solder balls bridge at the corner. It appears at the pin 1 corner where the metal indicator of a BGA is exposed. I am wonder

Russ makes good points. Search the archives for: * Links to rework machine profiles. * Discussion on people causing corner shorts on their BGA, when heating them too rapidly, making the corners to curl like potato [potatoe?] chips.

Maybe the issue is not a proper rework method. Your shorts on the corners are caused by too fast of a profile causing the corners of the BGA to get too hot, too fast, which made them curl, like tatter chips.
