Circuit Medic carries the parts but they ain't cheap. A master kit from Techni-tool will run around 785 or so. I just bought a bunch for the shop.

This pad has no connection. It is not used. I was looking for IPC guidance and found guidelines for PCB repair of traces, but so far found no reference for repair of a BGA pad. Are there guidelines for BGA repair and are there kits available to replace a lifted pad? What risk(s) would exist if the BGA were placed without that pad in place under the ball?.
