Gaby,

We tried rework both with and without solderpaste and found screening paste worked much better.

That is our standard rework method for BGA replacement now, clean, screen, reflow.

Dear Technetters

We are starting to rework BGA's.

A controversy arised about the necessity of solder paste for BGA's with eutectic solder balls.

Please send your opinion and your general procedure.

Thank you,

Gaby
