Yea lead free solder cannot be used like leaded. If they didn’t alter the process then…whoops! BGA is a very dense package which is why I’m amazed that a homebrew reflow actually works. Its very easy to float the part and bridge the solder. ---

So, sort of OT question… Does anyone know of any confirmed falcon boxes rrod’ing? Someone posted a video of a supposed falcon with the d2rl but there was no proof it was a falcon and it was sitting on carpet… :bloat: Plus people were getting d2rl before the falcon came out. So far I can’t find any confirmed falcons with issues. ---
