Just another pitfall: I once mis-seated a connector, so there was no
ground connection between a troublesome pcb and the supplies. But due to
the circuits circumstances the pcb itself had created a virtual ground,
which made me measure "reasonable" values on the pcb itself. My lesson
from that is, that I now measure the ground lines first.
