Ramon, You caught my attention with that last sentence. Can you elaborate? The inference in your e-mail is that the short lifetime is due to LF solders.

Keeping the equipment in a clean, cool and low humidity environment will extend the life of electronic equipment. Stay away from LF solder. I am already buying commercial product that lasts just a few weeks.

STORAGE is the one of requirements of our project. We have to show with any analysis that the unit have to meet all requirements of our contract specification WITHOUT COMPONENT OR PART REPLACEMENT, ADJUSTMENT, OR MAINTENANCE AFTER BEING IN STORAGE FOR UP TO 18 MONTHS. Regards, Tugmen. -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of TUGMEN UNSAL (MIKES INTERNET) Sent: Wednesday, December 07, 2005 11:40 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] analysis method for storage Dear all, We're in need some help regards to STORAGE for our electronic equipment.
