Hi Mumtaz!

Sorry it's taken me a while to get your pictures posted, but I'm home in
North Carolina visiting my family, and I'm on a dial-up connection at a
blazingly fast 26.4kb! WOOO-HOO!!!

(DSL has sure spoiled me...)

Anyways, go to:

Kind regards,

Dear All,

We have an issue with flex cables cracking in cellphone
assembly. X-sections are showing voids, some residue and cracking in the
via. It appears to be a combination of smear remove and copper plating
problem. Any insight from the flex circuit and plating experts will be
appreciated. I have asked Stephen Gregory to post the X-sections on his
website.
Thank-you

Mumtaz
