Hi, Bill, Lead-free solder and paste manufacturers will be a great resource for you during the transition; they've tested their products extensively, and their application groups have been able to help me through the biggest changes. There are a fe

Joe: I know this is not the correct forum to post chip "reworking" questions. Reply: Rework questions are as appropriate as the next topic here on SMTnet J: BGA will not reflow at any normal temperature level. I believe these chips may have been gen
