Re: [DML] Bizarre electrical problem

With the lid off, it's difficult to pull the contacts apart, but the instant they're
apart, there's no force pulling them back together. There's definitely a leak somewhere,
but I'm not involved at the moment - #2727 is back with Rich and I'm busy on #1458 right
now.

Thanks for the input
