Most electrical hardware problems turn out to be connectors.
Yes, I can verify this. I've just resurrected a vintage-2000 pick and place machine. I had to reseat a whole bunch of
connectors, and even reseat many socketed ICs (they used a bunch of 68-pin J-lead chips to basically control low-speed
function boards via serial comms). There were also a couple boards that initially worked fine, but then failed after a
couple days of being powered on.
Reseating socketed IC's with tuner cleaner paid my rent when I was younger..

In realestate it is: location-location-location
For electronic debugging it is: connectors-connectors-connectors...

There are four kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, statistics, and computer
models.
