There is not "one size fits all" answer. One criteria I've heard used is scrap it after so many hours of troubleshooting if it's not fixed. End use of the board would be a factor as well. I would want someone giving up salvaging a board for a defibr

It all comes down to cost and reliability. Which order is up to you. You don't want to spend $100 fixing a $1 board.

Well, at that value point, I'd go with the hourly ( unburdoned ) high-skill rework/repair rate up to 50%-60% of the board value. If this is part of an integrated system ( in-house assembly ) repair to value ratio could go even higher.

Wow! How would it be possible to spend $700-$800 in labor to repair a single board? What are labor burdens these days? $30-$40 per hour at most?

Does anybody know of any standards that are available that cover how many times a part or complete unit can be reworked before it is considered to be scrapped? I am currently writing a process to review this with a supplier. For example, a bga devi

I would say it depends on the process requirements for the board and the reliability requirements as has already been mentioned. If you do two-sided reflow you might allow for fewer rework attempts, for example. If it's a medical device you might on

i set this up for one of nokias manufacturing plants and based it on the value of the board, caluclated the average rework times, worked out the costs of rework and costs of the board then for each type manufactured put a figure on the number of time

I was going to ask the same question. As was mentioned, it depends on the classification of product. If it's IPC Class 3, with a requirement for high reliability, I'd want the OEM manufacturer to have a defined statement on this issue for more that
