I can't believe this is the first time this has happened, but anyway..... We have a turnkey job (customer provided only the bare boards) that included testing with their system. One board failed, and we found damage (a short deep gouge) that seems t

My my my, where do I go with this?!?!? SMT Guru Expert Superior Process God, I agree with you about "thinking outside the box". We do that at my facility everyday. But there are times when you need to "jump thru hoops". It's a fine balance in co
