For chip components it is very hard to identify specially the capacitors. You could get sample of each chip manufacture and compare the color. This is very labor intensive task. I suggest to sort by value ( capacitance, resistance) than by manufac

Wow, what a bunch of crabby old men. BGA opens can occur from pre,during or post process. I never chimmed in cause the original poster said they would performa a dye test. Yet as usual, they never get back to this forum on what the cause was. So

Thanks for the info everybody. As Real Chunks stated, a lot of paste is needed in order to solder the clinched part of the lead on to the pad. It can be done with a dispenser but it takes a lot of time. The good part is that the result looks surpris

Thanks a lot guys. This really should help me (big thanks to Real Chunks for this great answer). I am going to discuss the issues with the R&D team - let's see what we can do. However I am still interested in some more suggestions. I really don't w
