If you think the problem is occurring in the box and it is wide spread, consider replacing your solder paste with your paste supplier. There are paste formulations aimed at the solder balling issue that some LF pastes create. On tuning your reflow r

Thomas: Wheeee, a 40% failure rate. Now, that make your boss chase you around the room won�t it? As you indicated, x-ray won�t do dip about helping to identifying problems [or ball cracks either]. Consider using an ERSA scope [er whatever they ca
