    Thanks to all that actualy replied to the question in the post

    thanks mancigames, for the link you posted


    but i still don't accept moisture being the reason why blowing makes the carts work. It can't be the reason since all the contacts are extreamly clean (in the systems and on the carts) - the connectors inside the sytems are new or in great condition -- its always the same carts

    it could be wear on the edge connector traces where the moisture could be a factor- but i have carts that look like they have extreme wear that work every time

    i gues ill just have to accept its unexplainable to me - beasue logic tells me that moisture shouldnt play a part in the conduction - since there is more than enough super clean metal contacting each other

    thanks all again

    This thread blows.

    The next time someone gets a cart that blinks, take it out and instead of blowing on it with your breath, use a hair dryer. That would determine whether or not it is the heat and not the moisture. If that works, then use a can of air to simply blow it off. If those don't work then hey maybe it is your incidental slobber or whatever. Maybe you could put the cart in and then put the whole thing in your aquarium and fire it up.

    I think my brain just exploded.

    OK...a little note from the management.

    I think there's actually some useful info to be gleaned from this thread, but I had no idea it had gotten derailed the way it had.

    I've excised the more incendiary parts of this topic - i.e. roughly half of it - and unlocked it again. If the parties involved try to rekindle it, they may very well wind up with my footprint on their asses and the door locked behind 'em before I have a chance to run the decision past anyone else.

    Not that I'd expect such a decision - at the moment entirely hypothetical - to be undone, mind you.

    Behave.

    Thank you for your understanding. Now please feel free to carry on with the original discussion.
