Looking at some of the non-functional or flaky boards I have here,  and at
all the discussion that's gone by in here of late regarding flaky caps, 
I'm beginning to wonder if perhaps this might not be the problem in at
least some of these boards.  I don't recall seeing any with obvious
symptoms of distress, though,  which is one of the things that seems to get
mentioned in here fairly frequently.  And I'm not real hot on the idea of
pulling them to test them...

You mention specific board manufacturers and dates of manufacture.  How did
you arrive at that info?  I'm just getting started in terms of researching
this sort of thing.
