I tried to look in the archive for anything relating to warranty issues and could not find anything. So with that said my company had a board design built a year ago, we are now getting boards sent back because of contamination issues. There are over 120 boards that show signs of active flux contamination some next to fine pitch parts and some all over the board. The board vendor has been contacted, the response from them was the warranty is up and we can not issue a RMA#. Has anyone ever had to face this issue before and if so how was it handled?
