Not as much a quote as it is a funny situation.
Student 1 and Student 2 decided that they wanted to investigate what happened to a wireless bridge that we had burned out because we accidentally reversed the polarity of a router.

1: "You know what? I really wanna see what happened to that burnt out router."
2: "Alright, let's open it up."

So, they open it up and decide to plug it in and see if anything visual happens. Of course nothing happens at all, so student 2 suggests they grab an IR temperature reader.

2: "So, the baseline is anywhere from 70-80 degrees."

student 1 turns on the power to the router and they both start reading out temperatures.

2:"Not the cpu and that chip, so let's start checking the capacitors."
1:"Well, those are at about 90. See of the CPU changed at all."
2:"Nope, they didn't change much."

at this time, student two passes the temperature reader over a large capacitor, and the reader reads out 130 degrees. Student 1 bursts out laughing.

1:"Well, I think we found the problem!"

TL;DR Students start laughing their heads off when trying to diagnose a router when a capacitor reads out 130 degrees. Also, don't kill routers. It's a bad idea
