How do I find a PCB schematics for a device?

We are new brand of medical device. We are doing a device development recently. How can we find PCB schematics for reference?

Schematics don’t do you much good on today’s high-tech electronics. Most high-tech electronics nowadays use custom chips or FPGAs so a schematic that shows all the signals going in and out of a magic proprietary chip won’t do you any good.

A lot of lower-tech components that perhaps use discrete parts, relays, discrete resistors, etc. do have schematics on the inside of the case or available online.

What are the black spots in lead-free solder joints on PCB?

I am prototyping a PCB, using Chip Quik’s “SMDSWLF.031, a Sn96.5/ Ag3.0/ Cu0.5 solder with 2.2% no-clean flux. I find that the black spots appears frequently in larger pads on my board. I wonder if it is because I left the soldering iron more time heating the solder and that burnt the flux. What is that black residue? Is that a sign of a bad joint or maybe bad soldering technique?
