Spent 8 hours chasing a phantom voltage drop on a G1000 system

Had a King Air in the shop with a PFD that kept blanking out. Traced it to a 0.3V drop on a 28V power feed, but the wiring looked perfect. Turns out, a tiny bit of green corrosion inside a cannon plug pin was the culprit, and my meter probes weren't making good contact at first. Who else has lost a full day to something that simple?

Was it even a real problem?
