Lead-free reliability, another term you can add to the list of
oxymorons.

Of course, the $64 million question is: If that IS the case, then what
type of solder was used... SAC305, SN100C, etc., etc. And who made it? I
suspect we'll never know.

I thought this was worth sharing. The Chicago Tribune has an article;
"Coolest electronic gear way to hot for its own good". In the article
they write:
"The Xbox's failure problem has generated more than 1,100 complaints to
ConsumerAffairs.com, an online publisher of consumer news and recall
information.
Adam Carpentieri, who said his online repair site, Xbox360-pros.com, had
fixed more than 2,000 systems, surmised that the culprit was the
lead-free solder Microsoft used to comply with European Union standards
for reducing hazardous materials in printed circuit boards.
As the solder repeatedly heats and cools, it cracks away from the
circuit board's tiny copper connections, causing them, in turn, to
separate and fracture."
Could that possibly be?
