Why do all the ground leads short outs beteween each other after Packing Virtex-4 via BGA?

After We have assembled the Virtex-4 FPGA BGA package on our custom design PCB, we check for short circuits between all power grounding and they shows short cut between each other. Please tell us about any process for debugging this issue.

Check you CAD database.
Test you custom PCB before BGA packing.
Check every pin on the board.
Consider if Virtex-4 is too old to run with your circuit.

Is there a surface-mount component I can put on a pad, that simply has another pad on top that I can solder something on to?

We found that edge-mounting a TO-Can package to a PCB will really save a lot on manufacturing. However, it comes with fairly long through-hole pins that are taking up too much space to reach the pads. Any suggestion?

How does PCB manufacturer work for double sided SMT assembly with BGA’s?

How does a conventional board house deal with the issue of reflow during PCB component assembly with BGA’s on both sides of the board?
Are two different solders used (like regular lead free SAC305 and a low temp?)

Are SMT components bad for high voltage applications?

Many assembly factories are asking for SMT jobs, while I think through hole would be a better option for a high voltage application. Before the high voltage project is started, we need to make a call on SMT or Through hole parts. Is there a study on this?
