Join the #1 community for gun owners of the Northwest
We believe the 2nd Amendment is best defended through grass-roots organization, education, and advocacy centered around individual gun owners. It is our mission to encourage, organize, and support these efforts throughout Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming.
We just got these back from being built. Board size is 0.432 X 0.665. Board is 6 layers and 0.031 thick. Large square pad is a 36 pin BGA. The two smaller square pads are 4 pin BGA voltage regulators. This will be soldered in place on an IC we can no longer get.
This points out a problem with our modern technology: what to do when the tiny custom IC's die. On consumer products, just scrap it and get another. On limited-production tools and industrial devices it becomes a question of can I find something current to do the job? If not, can something else be modified? And the final option, can I find someone who can jack-leg a fix?
