Gentlemen, I agree 100% with Graham Collins wording and attitude. Avigdor -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Graham Collins Sent: Tuesday, July 03, 2001 5:34 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] Rework/Repair Rick If you have not bonded it down I'd say it is neither! But - if you have a lifted pad that you fix by bonding (say you work a bit of epoxy in there before you push it down), I'd call that a repair. It may look perfect, but the board is not exactly to print. The definition we use here: if what you do brings the board to print requirements, it's rework. If it fixes a problem and the board will meet form/fit/function, but not to drawing, that's a repair. regards Graham Collins Process Engineer, Litton Systems Canada, Atlantic Facility (902) 873-2000 ext 6215 >>> [log in to unmask] 07/03/01 12:22PM >>> Question: Let's say I have a pad that is slightly lifted and I'm able to push it down. Is this considered Rework or Repair?
