Typical electrical and electrical components failures are claimed to have been caused by lightning damage or ‘acts of god’.
An incomplete investigation which only encompassed the examination of affected components rather than the entire assembly or the surrounding area of the assembly frequently prevented the investigator from conducting a comprehensive investigation.
Oftentimes, the conclusions as to the failure of these components are rather weak, inaccurate or even worse, painted an entirely different picture of the circumstances of the incident.
Solid particles resembling rodent excrement were found inside the printed circuit boards (PCBs) even though they were protected by the external panels.
The appearance of rodent excrement and liquid stain which appear to be rat droppings and urine revealed evidence of rodent activities.
