You're a goddang engineer, leave yourself some wiggle room. From now on when I ask you your name, you'd better say 'I'm 95% sure it's Gene.'"

Double-Triple check everything again, have an outside person look at it, and when you're 95% sure that its all correct and it still doesn't work, try replacing it.

Chances are if the replacement doesn't work, you shouldn't have been 95% sure.
Best of luck.
