Let me preface this my saying that I am chagrined to have to ask the following:

Will boring out the mounting holes on a TS-7260 to 9/64" cause it to fail?

I have several of them that have failed in the last few days with the same odd 
errors and find that the only thing they appear to have in common is that an 
industrious, if ill-trained, employee drilled them out to accommodate the 
available standoffs.

After discovering this, I ran a continuity check between the negative pin on 
the power connector and the metal disks surrounding each the mounting holes and 
found no continuity.  A similar check on a working board showed continuity 
between all five points (i.e. all mounting holes are connected to ground).

So, is that enough to render a board inoperable? And if so, can the boards be 
fixed by re-establishing ground to the outer, and presumably inner, board 
layers?
