| senatorpjt said: "Poor soldering" is inaccurate, but refers to the particular type of solder they use, it is lead-free to comply with RoHS, and definitely is less flexible than old lead solder. Also, soldering doesn't cause the board to warp, obviously. The warping of the board combined with inflexible solder material causes the contacts to come loose. Of course, the fact that the solder points on the board come loose is as much a result of overheating due to poor heat dissipation as the poor flexibility of RoHS solder. Blame the environmentalists if you want. |
