Can anyone explain what the electrical repair was?? Article stated a 'grounding issue'.
Being an Avionics Electrical Specialty, this seems to be something top secret.. I have not been able to find out myself... If I do find out, I will post here... I heard rumors a while back it was Avionics Related, something to do with the EFIS Displays.

They automated the drilling of holes in a couple of electrical panels in the cockpit, but sprayed them with primer AFTER drilling (instead of before), thus breaking the ground path. Basic stuff. Unbelievable incompetence.
