I heard these terms used in another thread "Smoke Test and Burn-In Test". Could someone explain what these terms mean and how these tests are performed? I have done one cap kit, but all I did is try the monitor out afterwards. Thanks.
 
"Smoke Test" means you turned it on to see if anything starts smoking.

"Burn In Test" means you turned it on, it's working, and you are letting it run for a while to make sure it keeps running for an extended period of time. Sometimes, something that works initially, fails again after a little while...
