I can't offer as much as others in contributing to the list, but hopefully = I can brighten someone's day with my (self-inflicted) misery... My day has gone something like this: 1.) Removed a ~1000 ball (0.6mm) BGA GPU 2.) Cleaned old solder off board and chip 3.) Used a stencil to replace lead-free solder with leaded solder 4.) Aligned BGA back into place and started to heat gun it 6.) Decided it could use more flux so reached for the nearest syringe 7.) Injected a bunch of Chipquik SMD 291AX solder paste between the chip an= d the board >From now on, I'm storing the solder paste very far from my flux. :) - Nate --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
