check the warping of the BGA PWB carrier pre and post reflow.... as the PWB
warps, it may be pushing the solder...another check point may be your stencil
design/process....

        Subject:        [TN] BGA short

        Hi Technetters,

        I am facing a weird problem.

        One of the board that we make, is having short underneath the BGA.
        However, every single short is always at one of the 4 corners of
        the BGA.

        Is there anyone facing such an issue ? Could someone advise me how
        to solve.

        Poh
