Sorry I didn't indicate it but both the solder spheres and the soldering
alloy are eutectic Sn 63/ Pb 37. 
The pin outs are shown below

Subject: Re: [TN] BGA failures after OMPAC underfill

Hi Tom,
While you are not saying it, i am assuming your are using LF-SAC.
If so, than 214.5 C temperature under the center BGA joints is
insufficient for good soldering. By the way, time above liquidus (TAL)
of 84 sec is totally irrelvant for assuring good soldering; you need
about Liquidus+20C for 5 seconds at that solder ball.
Less squashed balls indicate that some balls (typically in the center)
did not melt and collapse. While I hate that SJ geometry [it gives you 2
stress concentration regions near the interfaces reducing reliability],
proper 'controlled collapse' is an indication of adequate wetting in the
whole array.
I have no idea where P16, J12, N7, M8 are located.
Pressing on fractured SJs externally is a temporary fix [you are making
electrical contact] which has been used for some Apple and Sony laptops
(see my column in Global SMT & Packaging magazine, October 2007). 
Indeed, if in fact you have interfacial failures, Black Pad is one
possibility -however, you need to confirm this failure mode.

Werner
