Hi, I have been troubleshooting a board related issue. I have a BGA device soldered on the board which is giving me functional failures. After running x-rays on the device I found some voids in the solder jointon most of the solder balls. I am not sure what kind of problems arise due to voids. Voids does not mean that there is an open joint. I have curve traced al the pins and they give me the correct characeristics so I guess it is making contact. But what would a void do when passing a signal is what I am not sure about. If anyone has dealt with similar issue your feedback would be very helpful.
