Most of the semi-con is using SAC305 balls. Only the PCB assembly house feels the heat, but semi-con never feels any pressure.

So the moral of the story is..... these SAC305 BGA's were accidentally mixed in with a Leaded process, the profile couldn't get hot enough due to Tg and Td constraints on a known good QFP on the same board, and consequently, the whole assembly failed in the field..

In addition to the not-hot-enough profile, the OSP board finish didn't help matters much either
