I doubt it. You don't say what device you're talking about,
but a lot could have happened to it since it was new. The new
processes work just fine and don't cause the problems you're
talking about. Sounds like it was in a corrosive environment,
or maybe it was bad when new. Who knows!
(Most
electronic assembly processes use water-soluable fluxes and
such and often get a water bath. Other things to watch for are
trimpots. But if the device is dead, what have you got to lose?)
Is this what it is? Duller looking solder joints, dull dry circuit
boards with few rare water marks?
