I guess you're responding to my post. In which case, you missed an opportunity for a learning experience. To spell it out: the first requirement for a tech person faced with an unfamiliar repair situation is humility.
I've known plenty of mechanics and techs who were arrogant about their skills. I've known only a few whose arrogance was justified. All the best mechanics and techs I've known were anything but arrogant.
