If you've worked long enough, you will have had everything happen to you.

I've had power supply problems where it was actually the SUP720-3BXL that 
was the issue (discovered after first replacing PSU, then chassis, then 
finally the SUP).

We have a GSR where we have replaced everything so far (including 
chassis), problem still persists. What do to then? Ask to replace 
everything again but do this in one bang?

Must be interesting to work as a TAC engineer, they must see a lot of 
weird things.
