Kirk and Fred discussing the difficulty in getting to root cause of a component failures. In many cases a component failure is not due to a intrinsic failure mechanism in the component, but instead is due to a circuit application issue such as rapid voltage spikes or transients. They also discuss the issues with Li-ion battery failures in Samsung and Boeing leading to costly recalls and failures.

Kirk and Fred discussing the process of HALT on mechanical systems. Many times the simplest and most straightforward of accelerated testing is to increase the number of expected use cycles such as on a mechanical hinge. They discuss how a failure may come from degradation, such as a squeaking door hinge, before it actually has a functional failure.
