reballing
The process of reapplying the balls (protruding contacts) on a ball grid array.
Warum dieses Wort
The name is literal: the balls are the solder spheres under the package, and they get stripped and replaced. Not the same as a reflow, which just reheats what is already there and often buys you weeks, not years.
In use
That inverter control board came back with the same fault, so it was never reballed properly the first time.
