Vinit, Ok, here we go. Never seen nothin' like these before. Oh well, maybe once when I was a "young gun" process engineer at Xerox. That's another story I'll not bore anyone with now. Concerning the pics, it is obvious there is delam everywhere but maybe the edges. Vinitdelam3's discoloration also is delamination, not solder mask related. Someone else take shots at this and Vinit's supplier. This shop shoundn't exist unless they just lost it all on his boards ONE PING ONLY PLEASE. A pleasure to serve Vinit. Don't often get to see how bad something can be besides a train wreck.
