Abstract
A method for reflowing a solder dispersed between a plurality electrical circuit conductor pads attached to a flexible substrate and at least one electronic component using a laser is disclosed. The method includes aligning the plurality of electric circuit conductor pads along a common axis, placing the at least one electronic component having a light colored surface side on a pair of the electrical circuit conductor pads wherein the light colored surface faces the laser, and sweeping the laser across a plurality of electronic components and conductor pads to reflow the solder without damaging the substrate.
