Thanks for all your suggestions. I like the BGA replacement pad option the best. Reprogramming/programing? Forget it. That's what I'm trying to avoid. I'd be there all friggin day long, with all the loser "Labor Only" accounts we have. And oh, the p

Besides changing fluxes, do you have good knowledge of actual flux volumes? Do you have a micrograms per square value? Pre-heats can affect flux by burning off too soon and also not enough - therefore moisture hits the wave- how's your humidity cont
