Modifying and Reworking Electronic Printed Circuit Boards in USA

In today’s fast-paced electronics industry, there is a constant need for circuit board repair and rework. Whether due to design changes, component failure, or manufacturing defects, restoring and reusing existing printed circuit boards (PCBs) can save significant time and cost. At ACME PCB Assembly, we specialize in providing precise, reliable, and efficient rework and modification services to extend the life of your boards and ensure optimal performance.

Custom Rework Solutions for Every Project

ACME PCB Assembly customizes each project to meet your specific requirements using a wide variety of leading-edge technologies. Our highly skilled technicians can complete standard projects quickly—often within one day of assembly—without compromising quality. We handle everything from small-scale component replacement to complex system-level repairs with exceptional accuracy and attention to detail.

Advanced PCB Repair Techniques

Our rework and repair services include refinishing, de-soldering, and re-soldering of all types of electronic printed circuit boards. Skilled manual techniques are combined with specialized equipment to replace defective or outdated components. This includes complex area array packages such as Ball Grid Array (BGA) devices, which require exceptional precision and temperature control.

We use hot air stations and rework tools to carefully heat solder joints, remove components, and reattach new ones—all while maintaining the integrity of surrounding parts. Our technicians are trained to handle miniature and delicate components, ensuring reliable reflow and alignment during replacement.

Save Money, Reduce Waste

Before you consign your damaged or outdated PCBs to the scrap bin, contact ACME PCB Assembly. Our expert rework and repair services can restore functionality, prevent waste, and save you money. In a market where every dollar counts, no company can afford to discard valuable boards that can be reworked and reused effectively.

Partner with ACME PCB Assembly for dependable repair services that bring your boards back to life. Call us today at 310.715.1898 to discuss your project and learn more about our rapid-turnaround rework solutions.

Ball Grid Array (BGA) Assembly Inspections

ACME PCB Assembly has provided (Ball Grid Array) BGA assembly, BGA rework, and BGA reballing service for Printed Circuit Boards since 1994. Having 20+ years experience behind us, we have extensive knowledge on how to assemble high quality (Ball Grid Array) BGAs. We have experience with everything from Micro BGAs to large size BGAs (55 mm), and ceramic BGAs to plastic BGAs.

BGA-boardsBGA assembly is a type of SMT process, which is used for Printed Circuit Boards. It allows for the customer to have more room for the PCB layout.  Ball Grid Array (BGA) packaging is a method for reducing package size and integrating a greater number of functions on a single chip module. BGA (Ball Grid Array) also replaces solder balls on the component underside for SMT mounting.

ACME PCB Assembly has a quality system for BGA assembly, the BGA will be received and inspected, and kept in a 40-degree Celsius storage with a 1% humility baking oven to make sure the BGA is good condition before assembly.  We inspect the BGA with a 3D X-ray, and make sure the void is under 25% of the total solder ball diameter. By using the X-Ray inspection process, we can eliminate the soldering problem on the board, such as solder bridging and insufficient ball melting.

We also add an additional layer inspection after the X-Ray inspection is done; using the ERSA scope to inspect the solder ball on the underside of the BGA so that we are sure the profile is correct; we assure you excellent quality during the BGA assembly process.  Some BGA assembly boards have VIA connect to the BGA pad, the best condition for that is have a VIA epoxy plug, and have the solder mask on the trace, so that solder is not wicked to the VIA and cause the solder to function insufficiently during the BGA assembly process.

By having ACME PCB Assembly do the BGA assembly prototype with or without Stencil will save you as the customer on assembly costs.

ACME Go Green for the Environment

ACME PCB Assembly: A Greenhouse for Sustainable Electronic Manufacturing

BGA assemblyACME PCB Assembly is setting a remarkable example of sustainability in electronic manufacturing by leveraging renewable energy. Their solar panel system, which generates 64.2KW, offers incredible environmental benefits. Over the next 30 years, this PV system is projected to offset 4,136,092 pounds of CO2 emissions, reduce particulates linked to asthma by 817 pounds, and equate to taking 21.8 cars off the road for 25 years or planting 35.5 acres of trees. Impressive, isn’t it? A well-deserved round of applause for ACME PCB Assembly!

The drive to “go green” stems from more than just a desire to conserve nature. It’s about fostering economic growth, ensuring social and physical well-being, and securing a sustainable future. As industries like electronics heavily rely on natural resources, the shift to eco-conscious practices is both necessary and urgent.

According to EcoWatch, the depletion of resources vital to powering economies and improving livelihoods is an escalating environmental and economic concern. Non-renewable materials, essential for many industries, are being exhausted at alarming rates. Even renewable resources face challenges, as their replenishment often requires significant time. The experts emphasize the pressing need for industries to adopt sustainable strategies to mitigate these risks.

Why Sustainability Matters

The electronics industry relies heavily on natural resources, making the shift to sustainable practices both urgent and necessary. According to environmental experts, the depletion of non-renewable resources is accelerating, while even renewable resources require significant time to replenish. Without action, industries risk exhausting the materials vital to powering economies and improving livelihoods.

At ACME PCB Assembly, we recognize this challenge and are taking proactive steps to address it. By adopting green manufacturing practices, we’re not only conserving resources but also inspiring others to follow suit.
