[c-nsp] Heat guns: was: New PIX DoS Vunlerability?

[Matt Hill]

Jay typed:

The 506
seems to be a hardware failure, probably thermal.  I may try the
heat-gun
and freeze-spray trick on the PCB if I have the time.  Replaced with a
new one, identical config, no problems.

What is this method you speak of?  It sounds rather dodgy to me
personally.  If something has been damaged due to environmental issues
isn't it permanent?  However if this is a magical fix for all heat
related issues then Id love to hear it.

Cheers,
Matt
