Wayne, then you must have experienced the law of falling dust under a car. You lift the car, place secure supports under, crawl under car, rotate 180 degrees to look upwards, got the secure spring in your right hand and lamp in the other , reaching out a trembling hand to put that darn thing on its place. Just a millimeter more and then the thing will fit...THEN...not sooner, nor later...EXACTLY THEN is a microscopic particle falling right into your staring eye. It has been there for years, just waiting for the correct time. You make a violent gesture in the direction to your eyes, and the hand touches a scalpel sharp metal piece. You are now swearing and crawling back with a speed like a green mamba and when asking friend to find the timber in your eye, a thought of panic begin to form: the only and one little secure ring is somewhere on the floor which is covered by 30 years of oil and debris. And it's Sunday. And you forgot the mobile telephone at home. /Inge ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thayer, Wayne - IIW" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, July 14, 2009 4:02 PM Subject: Re: [TN] NTC (It's not Friday, but this is so true!) Hi Inge! I am also someone who takes stuff to pieces. You should see the scars on my knuckles from all of the sheet metal cuts you can get on a car. Now that you've put your car back together.... Are you absolutely sure the solder joint was bad when it left the line? I mean, the rest of the joints look just fine, so what is it about that one? In all liklihood this was wave soldered. What if the real problem is that too much current is going through that joint, which is considerably smaller than the adjacent joint on the same trace? You may have only peeled back the first layer of the onion! I hate to put doubts in the mind of someone who did an excellent job getting the thing repaired, but I know you are tough!
