@revk Noah would be proud

@revk AI also had an opinion....

@revk Which order did that happen in?! Was that excess current causing that area to get hot so it rusted, or did it start rusting first and cause a hot contact?

[revk@toot.me.uk]

@penguin42 No clue

[philpem@digipres.club]

@revk @penguin42 The usual sequence for that is a loose screw -> high contact resistance -> heat -> fire. The heat is probably what caused the rapid oxidation.

@revk Oooo that's bad. Glad the damage wasn't far worse.
