One of the senior techs found a good specimen unit that was beyond repair and took it apart and reversed the polarity on all the filter capacitors in the power unit. He then gave it to the junior to diagnose, with the instructions “BEFORE removing the case it is necessary to troubleshoot as far as possible, both as a safety precaution and to save time…” – You can imagine what happened when the poor guy turned it on – KABOOM!! Needless to say it became a lifelong safety lesson as well as a funny story!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Paul.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> ausnog-bounces@lists.ausnog.net [mailto:ausnog-bounces@lists.ausnog.net] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Daniel Hood<br><b>Sent:</b> Monday, 5 July 2010 11:32 AM<br><b>To:</b> 'Jacob Gardiner'; 'Skeeve Stevens'<br><b>Cc:</b> ausnog@ausnog.net<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [AusNOG] Anyone else experiencing high latency, low speeds through internode?<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Best one we always used to do to juniors, was take them out on a phone system installation or somewhere that required patching (or that we could make require patching)...
