One time I couldn't get to an LED so I used an IR thermometer pointed at chip to debug it.

Telling the difference between hot and cold and whether it was getting warmer or colder told me what I needed to know.

Impressive.

Saying as someone who once debugged something by ear making the motherboard emit a cathode ray tube like hum instead of blinking or beeping.

Nice! How'd you end up generating the hum? I assume you oscillated something, remember what it was?

I think it involved a NIC, but I don't remember what it was exactly that I was doing to it. It was over 10 years ago.
