Default I was trouble shooting today and have found the secret test!

Smoke test
This discovery might be more pro-
found than the recent work done on
dark suckers (light bulbs).
As I was working on a solid state
device the other day the realization of a
basic truth came over me. It was so
simple! So obvious! Why didn't I see it
before? I discovered how ICs work, be-
cause every time you let the smoke out
of an IC, it stops working.

Of course!
Smoke makes all things electrical work.
Remember the last time smoke es-
caped from your voltage regulator?
Didn't it quit working? I sat and smiled
like an idiot as more of the truth dawned.
It' s the wiring harness that carries the
smoke from one device to another, and
when the harness springs a leak, it lets
the smoke out of everything at once, and
then nothing works. The starter motor
requires large quantities of smoke to
operate properly and that' s why the
wire going to it is so large.
If improvements in wiring are to be
achieved, we are going to have to find a
way to keep smoke from leaking much
the same as we do for air in tires.

no, no, no you got it all wrong. it's the break in the circut that causes waveform modulations in the FLUX CAPACITOR causing a break in the TIME SPACE CONTINUEM.

Very nice.
Thanks SO MUCH for that revelation. My career couldn't live without it.
Based on your wonderful revealing theory, I'd like to hear more about how we can ADD more smoke to ICs and get them to work even better, 'cause I'll frankly get right to work.
