QA details on OB-23

NOTE: Channels in MCM convention, 0 - 255.

This assembly went through the laser scan test on 27-Jan-00 and 15 channels (6, 48-54, 70-76) were idenfied as dead. channel 6 is known to have broken wire bond from Si+Kapton QA. For other dead channels, at the center of dead channels there is a shorted channel.( Si short 51 --> dead 48-54, Si short 73 --> dead 70-76) This is a common phenomenon for all assemblies, though some shorted channels shows no fault.

OB-1987 no problem here.

It turned out that we can save these dead channels that is affected by a shorted channel. On 2-Feb-2000, this assembly was checked again, after preamp channel 51 and 73 disabled. We could save 12 channels by doing this.
