Blowhard, trying to make us believe you went through hail and back to
get these posted. We do appreciate it, but I couldn't open these. It
sent me to create my own web-page. That's just what the world needs; my
own web-page.
Take care.
Dewey

Hi again Genny!

Got your pictures posted now. We had quite a severe thunderstorm out
here earlier! Sky looked like it was night with an eery greenish tint to
it, had some 60-mph straight line winds and just to the west of us in a
town called Stillwater they had baseball sized hail! Several hundred
cars were damaged from what I heard on the radio! Thanks goodness the
hail missed us!

What were we talking about? Oh yeah, your pictures ;^) go to:

As always, Steve, you are a wealth of information.  That article is
perfect, thank you.  This seems to mirror what Amol said about doing a
1/4 of the length.  This article said to do an L shaped bead 2-6 balls
along each corner side.
Here are some photos to post.  Would you oblige?  
BGA is 40mm per side.  PCB is ~1 ft sq.  A little bigger than what is
found in the typical blackberry, I think... Ball pitch is 1.27mm.
We believe the cause is mechanical, not thermal.
Thanks everyone.

Genny

Morning Genny,

Since you said you were going to look at corner bonding, here is a
really good article (if you haven't seen it already) that Michael
Kochanowski from Intel and Brian Toleno from Henkel did about it:

Subject: [TN] Corner ball pad cratering

Hello all,
If you have identified a BGA with corner ball pad cratering, what would
be your suggestions to correct this condition?
Our thoughts:
1.  We plan to evaluate our handling processes to reduce/remove
excessive flex/strain occurring around this part 2.  We plan to evaluate
corner bonding or underfilling for the BGA.

Which do you feel would be the best direction to go?  Do you have other
suggestions?
Thanks in advance for all your help

Genny
