I have a mixed technology board - bottom side smt  power supply which is 
failing. I suspect that the failure is due to the unreliability of 
decoupling ceramic caps.
On reworking the caps they tend to crack.
I have subjected them to thermal shock tests and they seem to retain their 
 integrity.
Any suggestions? Is it a vendor problem (which seems unlikely) only?
Thanks in advance.
