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

ol' hege has got to agree with Chunks and Dave. Seems every time there is a problem, the finger is first pointed at the process. For my $.02 it doesn't matter if your process is 100% bulletproof, procurement will screw it up by finding a vendor that

about WHY violating IPC design standards gives you grief? Do they even know they exist? We've got one in particular that seems to shoot from the hip. I want to tell them the "why" as well as the "what" so they'll be a little more proactive. My fee
