1. A remote maintenance monitoring system for monitoring an electronic hardware device, said system comprising:

  • non-intrusive sensor implant means, transparently interfaced with a given electronic hardware device so as to not interfere with the operation thereof, for continuously gathering operational data from preselected locations within such device; and

    diagnostic expert means for receiving and analyzing data gathered by said sensor implant means, said expert means being programmed for diagnosing failure causes of the given device based on operational data gathered therefrom;

    whereby relatively remote diagnostic analysis is achieved using failure data captured near its point of origin;

    wherein said sensor implant means is adapted to be retrofit to an existing hardward device, for continuously monitoring and gathering data from such device in real time so as to capture data of even intermittent failures of such device.
