I've been informed that I can't post the Dye Penetrant paper on the SMTNET library till Advanced Packaging releases the paper in their Dec. issue. You should be able to pull a copy in the next couple of weeks from their site, http://ap.pennnet.com/ho

When we have sent some of motherboards for reliability testing in a tird party laoratory. It is found that when Dye&Pry is done after 600 cycles of Thermal Cycling, in LGA socket only one of the corner solder joing had 100% type 3 crack. All other so

Its not a problem to do you just modify the procedure slightly for the smaller thinner parts. There some images and on my CD ROM and posters see http://www.packageonpackage.co.uk website I will also be doing a workshop at APEX and there is a webinar

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

You're entirely correct. The gold is most likely gone away. [Don't forget you can check if the surface is still solderable with a hand soldering iron.] We're not sure it it will give you the results you seek, but consider using a dye penetrant fai

Hello Bob, What makes this problem even harder for us is that we are not the manufacturer of this particular board. We are just performing re-works on them based on the issues they come in for, and thus refurbishing the unit. We are currently in th

Hi manchella, After ATC test, two different failure modes can be present: solder FATIGUE (into bulk) or BRITTLE INTERMETALLIC fracture. So, first you have to verify this. Moreover, which brand of SMT paste have you used ? The crack into solder joint

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,

Thanks Real Chunks and Davef...Yours input is valuable to me. My inputs towards your question asked below: Questions are: * Why did you tell us the following? "This BGA is installed with heatsink (with hook at both side of the heat sink) manually b

Hi, We had a similar issue to this. When we examined the boards at x-ray there were no apparent defects, We sent the boards for Dye and pry testing and we found that there were crack or gaps between the paste on the PCB and the BGA ball. basically th
