What!! No pre-ship burn-in!!!??? With CMOS and Surface mount, if the
component is going to fail, it is usually in the first 100 hours. A VERY
large percentage of failures can be caught by a 100 hour burn-in. And it
is cheaper to junk boards caught at that stage (factored into price of
course) than to RMA and swap those that WILL fail in the first 100 hours.
