Took me 6 hours to find a bad solder joint on a LRU yesterday

Was chasing a intermittent fault on a Collins radio and it turned out to be a single cold joint on a connector pin I'd already checked twice. Anyone else have a simple problem eat up way more time than it should have?

Ever find it with a thermal camera? That's how I caught mine.

Nah, a quick multimeter check would've found that in five minutes flat if you actually knew what you were doing.

Wait, you ever try one of those plug-in outlet testers that just beeps at you?
