In that case the same tools can apply, just different implementation. We might use any a number of visual aids for an assembly, one for each component type (resisors, capacitors, ICs, etc.). In the case you're describing we might color code the lo

Hi all, We had similar problems a while back. Boards would fail at test but if you applied pressure to the BGA they would pass. Turned out that during the PTH assembly process the Operators were flexing the cards during the insertion of an Oupin C
