@ Virgo - You don't have to get the gen. wet as such, the salt laden moisture is attracted to electronic and electrical components like a magnet as they are cooling down even if you keep it safe and dry in a shed.
One of two things usually occur either the salt/moisture corrodes wire or the leg/s of IC'c or other components causing them to become thinner thus changing the resistance and the current that it can carry...... or the salt accumulates like a bridge between contacts causing a short.
@ Cat - Thanks mate but salt laden moisture is probably only one possible cause in Virgo's situation....
@ Z - Another little known problem is a phenomenon, just as deadly to electronics are 'Tin Whiskers'.... ... rather than copy stacks of info here, maybe you could Google it....
@ armars - I remember my father used to have a 20 litre drum where he stored his arc-welding rods and he had a 40 watt light bulb fitted onto the inside of the lid and this was kept switched on 24/7.....
@ JoleenC - Maybe you have a secret not so sectret admirer, Girl.... ....
A lot of people view profiles to see if that person is logged in, in some cases people check another's profile because they changed their profile pic and they are checking to see a larger version of it for more detail.....
I think you would be much more worried if no-one ever looked at your profile me thinks.....
@ Welela - Probably got taken out by an eagle, Girl....... too late now anyway it's not 38 degrees C any more..... cooling off for Autumn now but thanks all the same... ..... ......
@ Aisha - Sorry Girl, there are no winter resorts here we don't get enough snow for that.... It's only a small farming community town of about 3,500 people, it's about 38k's from either Orange or Bathurst....
