Got on the computer and discovered someone else had been surfing the internet. \u00a0Browser was opened to\u00a0an entire forum devoted to the topic of bad capacitors<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

I had no idea.<\/p>\n

Also, our would-be-trashed computer monitor might yet have new life in it. \u00a0The report from the soldering crew is that the new capacitor fixed the thing, but there\u2019s still a blown fuse. \u00a0They had to hot wire the\u00a0machine\u00a0in order to confirm the capacitor replacement had done what needed doing.<\/p>\n

Have I mentioned how grateful I am for all the people in this world who make things work?<\/p>\n

Very grateful. \u00a0Thank you, geeky ones, for keeping our planet comfortably habitable.<\/p>\n
