John: Seek your answers in the archives. As I recall someone said: � Biggest cause of BGA shorting was out-gassing in-package moisture. � Removing shorts w/o removing the device: - Preheat the board - Lower the nozzle and heat the device - Lift the device slightly and the release it - Practice, practice, practice - Come-off the device - Say YES!!!!

A couple of weeks back I produced a video clip for Metcal to show what happens when BGA pop or the edge of the base warps causing shorts to form. Its 2.3meg if there is enough interest in seeing this I will put it up some where for download.
