Is there a way that I can calculate the Activation Energy and humidity acceleration factor from this given information. If this is not possible, what other information would be required, other than the normal temperature and humidity operating conditions. (I would normally use the Peck model(Arrhenius-Lawson)for this) If it is not possible to calculate it under damp heat conditions can it be done for dry heat (Arrhenius only). Any help/advice will be greatly appreciated Thanks in advance

I was told that the confidence level for 217 prediction is 60%, and for Bellcore is 90%. Is it true? I checked with 217 HDBK, no such number is found. Only found "the failure rate models are point estimates". BTW, what's the confidence level for PRISM? Thanks in advance.

Will it be necessary to burn-in again on this board? If the answer is yes, will the burn-in affect other conponents on this board? Thanks.
