[BC] Magic hair...

[Burt I. Weiner]

For years I've been aware of what happens if you let the magic smoke 
out of electronic components.  The night before last my computer's 
video board died.  This is the second time in two 
years.  Coincidence?  The Voltages are where they should be and the 
cabinet temperature is not too high.  The board's fan is running fine 
and the heat sink is clear.  But, for some reason the magic hair came 
out of 5 of the 10 filter capacitors.  So, let this be a lesson - Do 
not let the magic hair out of filter capacitors!
