eYup. This stuff all runs on magic smoke. If you let it escape, it'll never work right again.

Magic smoke smells like singed hair, burning plastic, and ozone -that's the easiest way to recognize it when you see it. Of course, by then it's faaaar too late.

Unless it's an old-school silicone rectifier. That smells like... nevermind!

Once the magic smoke is out, you have to replace the smoke capsule. Sometimes it takes several. :(

Darn it! I'm all out of smoke capsules, and I didn't think to get any when I placed my order today :pGuess I'm SOL :cool:

I don't think I want to know what an old silicon rectifier smells like :blink: I read that statement and got an entirely different (and inappropriate) meaning from it :evil:

(I'll just blame my medicine for making me loopy) :w00t:

I suspect you have the right idea. It smells like someone "sliced the curdled dairy product". :blush:

Oh, and you're right. It's "silicon", not "silicone". Sometimes my mind doesn't know what my fingers are typing.

Aww, no worries Pawpaw - I didn't even notice :) I understand completely - your brain was moving so fast your fingers just didn't have time to catch up :2cool: Happens to me all the time :blush:
