I am sure it would occur to him before anyone else thought so. And I know for a fact that he has an excellent sense of humor. -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Whittaker, Dewey (EHCOE) Sent: Monday, August 13, 2007 2:47 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] Lead-Free Problems? Not to Bernish the issue, but I believe Werner (contrary to public opinion does have a sense of humor) was the first to use that term.

Lead-free reliability, another term you can add to the list of oxymorons. -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Dale Ritzen Sent: Monday, August 13, 2007 12:57 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] Lead-Free Problems? Of course, the $64 million question is: If that IS the case, then what type of solder was used... SAC305, SN100C, etc., etc. And who made it? I suspect we'll never know.

I thought this was worth sharing. The Chicago Tribune has an article; "Coolest electronic gear way to hot for its own good". In the article they write: "The Xbox's failure problem has generated more than 1,100 complaints to ConsumerAffairs.com, an online publisher of consumer news and recall information. Adam Carpentieri, who said his online repair site, Xbox360-pros.com, had fixed more than 2,000 systems, surmised that the culprit was the lead-free solder Microsoft used to comply with European Union standards for reducing hazardous materials in printed circuit boards. As the solder repeatedly heats and cools, it cracks away from the circuit board's tiny copper connections, causing them, in turn, to separate and fracture." Could that possibly be?
