RE: Favorite phrases, when DIYs don't quite work out

Working in semiconductor processing, I saw many interesting malfunctions.

We had a planar Magnetron sputtering system which didn't work properly. We had a couple factory guys out over a period of time to fix it. High voltage? HIgh Vacuum? Relays? Interlocks?

One guy? Came out of the fab and said
'It Emitted a Large Blue Spark and Ceased to Function'.

We never saw HIM again. System was eventually fixed but remained quirky and NONE of our in-house guyss ever gained competence with fixing it.


Other machines were just as bad in their own way.
Too much is never enough
