We just had this issue a couple months ago with a single sided FR-4 board which was scored. We found that the design was a factor but also the depth of the v-score. Since then we have re-designed the part further away from the score line. At the same

We've encountered a little problem with BGA's. There was a process problem in the build of the boards which has ment the BGA are failing open circuit due to the lack of solder paste. Any-one else had this problem? Any suggestions on solutions? We've
