I don't know about BGA, but LCC is very solderable. I did it this way: fi=
rst put some solder on the PCB pads and then remove as much as possible w=
ith solder wick. Then put the IC on the PCB and use a chisel shaped solde=
ring iron. Tilt it 90=B0 so that the long side is vertical. Now put some =
solder on the soldering iron and stroke it onto the LCC pad until it's so=
ldered.

You might have to try this a few times, but once you get the hang of it i=
t's very simple. It works with gold plated LCCs. I soldered an Analog Dev=
ices accelerometer this way a few weeks ago.
