Japan probe finds miswiring of Boeing 787 battery on ANA flight
TOKYO - A probe into the overheating of a lithium ion battery in an All Nippon Airways Boeing 787 found it was improperly wired, Japan's Transport Ministry said Wednesday. The Transport Safety Board said in a report that the battery of the aircraft's auxiliary power unit was incorrectly connected to the main battery that overheated, although a protective valve would have prevented power from the APU from doing damage.

Could be, I suppose. I would have done something more nefarious than swap a couple of wires in all that spaghetti. Maybe substitute a couple of lines of code in one or two of the computers, but mechanical subterfuge? Too easy to catch and this should have been caught at the assembly line. My bet is new piece of equipment new procedures, Whopes.
Why wasn't that caught during QC?
I just hope that's the problem. Let's get these bad boys back to work and solve the engine problems. Probably nothing Roles Royce can't dope out.
well they do have a knack for electronics...........just saying
Call it paranoia, but could there be one or more AB moles in the 787 production line? Such things have happened before...
Like the Boeing moles in Toulouse?
Industrial espionage takes many forms and subtle sabotage detection is often a time evident endeavor.
