1. I was shocked into grasping ohms law.  Not so sure I would have grasped
it so early or so well if I had not been shocked but as you say it all
comes down to ohms law. Many seasoned techs and I suspect engineers dont
have this down pat.

2. As Russell states - Always initialise variables

3. As Dave Jones states when doing diags - Rule 1 of repair :- always
measure voltages.
