When I worked on the IMTS car phone line at Motorola, I had a power 
amplifier deck that simply would not work.  So, I showed it to my group 
leader.  He stared at it for several minutes and then reached out and 
moved a capacitor.  Suddenly the amplifier deck was making full power!  
When I asked him how he knew that part was bad, he just told me that he 
could sense these sorts of things.  I replaced that capacitor, and was 
very careful to solder the leads into the PC board properly.
I still don't know how he did that!
