Hi Steve Seeing the "rest of the picture" helps. The first one was cut off short. (I suppose that's one way to make a problem go away... ;-) Thanks Joe In a message dated 6/15/2009 10:12:13 A.M.

I don't think there was anything wrong with the solder joint... I believe that the cratering she was talking about was shown in her first two photos in the laminate just beneath the PCB pads _http://stevezeva.homestead.com/files/crack_bright_100x.jpg_ (http://stevezeva.homestead.com/files/crack_bright_100x.jpg) _http://stevezeva.homestead.com/files/crack_bright_200x.jpg_ (http://stevezeva.homestead.com/files/crack_bright_200x.jpg) Genny, correct me if I'm wrong?

Other than the small voids I am curious what is being seen. There seems to be no cratering Cheers, Joe ____________________________________ An Excellent Credit Score is 750. _See Yours in Just 2 Easy Steps!_ (http://pr.atwola.com/promoclk/100126575x1221322979x1201367215/aol?redir=http://ww w.freecreditreport.com/pm/default.aspx?sc=668072&hmpgID=62&bcd=JuneExcfooter NO62) **************An Excellent Credit Score is 750.
