Hi all.

There ought to be a law, something like Murphy's law, about the least likely, least expected, or most expensive component always being at fault when trouble-shooting. The little b*****d below was only found after a *very* long time. Of course, doing a resistance check across it pushed the two halves together, making it seem like it was OK. The break was so clean, I couldn't see it....

cheers,
Dave
