I have a question about In-Circuit Test for the group.... We have a new customer that has not given us test points in their PWB design, leaving us few options but to probe components directly or not at all. Of course, we don't find this acceptable, and want to push back on the customer. Is anyone aware of any actual data regarding compromised reliability or other problems that would come from probing parts? Thanks.
