Best repair week I had in a while after a rough Monday

Last Wednesday I fixed three dead power supplies in a row just by swapping out blown caps, felt like a hot streak. Then Friday a guy brought in a 20 year old receiver that wouldn't power on, turned out to be a cracked solder joint on the main transformer pin. Anyone else have a day where everything just clicks and you fix stuff twice as fast?

Bet you've got a hex on power supplies now after that streak ended with a cracked joint bringing you back to earth lmao.

You had three dead power supplies in a row with just blown caps? That's incredible luck, I can't believe it happened three times in one day.

...and that reminds me of the time I had a brand new monitor that just kept flickering. Turned out the cable was bad, but only when the cat walked near it. Took me a week to figure out it was a loose wire in the wall that the cat's tail was brushing against. Ever find yourself looking for ghosts when it's just your pet?
