Debugging my FLI camera

My FLI ML16070 showed some issues: from time to time, it seems as if the shutter didn't open or opened slow or such. And then a few days ago, the camera completely failed (didn't turn on at all anymore).

I sent it to FLI and received the following comments:

"It appears as though somehow insects had managed to get in there and caused quite a problem! Honest, we've never seen this either!"

"I checked with Greg and the only thing he can think of is that something (one of them) got stuck in shutter just enough to make room for more"

... so, there you have it: debugging is still a thing!
