Can I manually tin them with solder specially the BGA's. Will that improve the solderability? What about corrosion of the copper? will it be prevented with the above process considering that after tinning of solder the solderability became acceptable

How old are these parts? Sn/Ni plating is very succeptable to age and everything else. They are possibly tarnished. Also, what is your peak temp in reflow? It takes about 225 230 C to get good wetting to the underlying nickel. Russ

Just curious if anyone has had any problems because of using acetone to clean flux off boards or parts. Is acetone an acceptable flux remover for re-work? What are the pros and cons about using acetone Thanks in advance, JD

Hi, Anyone using the Sony TiMMS software? I am thinking about heading up to Taiwan late June, early July for the equipment show, and I wonder if anyone's going to be showing it there. Has anyone got experience running this software? Regards, Gra

Oh, you posted something about that a couple of weeks ago. Nice that you have the justification, too bad that's the way you needed to get it.

LOL! I don't have to worry about that. The two guys I have probably don't even know what hacky-sack is!

Get started by searching the fine SMTnet Archives. We love talking about tombstoning and solderballs. Good luck.

The more we think about this, the more we think you should join the 20th century and upgrade from your good ol' WS609. We know this will be tough. We used the stuff for 10s of years.
