A Tarkalean modifying circuits aboard Enterprise
A circuit or computer circuit was the complete and closed electrical network of a computer system.
A power surge could trigger the circuits and cause sensor glitches. (ENT: "The Catwalk")
In 2153, after a Borg-assimilated Tarkalean female modified the circuits of Enterprise NX-01 replacing them with Borg technology, Commander Tucker compared the cybernetic circuits with a christmas tree. (ENT: "Regeneration")
In 2254, Ben Finney left a circuit open which led to the atomic matter piles what would've caused the destruction of the USS Republic. (TOS: "Court Martial")
In 2266, when Hikaru Sulu began to regain consciousness following a Vulcan nerve pinch, Doctor Leonard McCoy instructed Nurse Christine Chapel, as part of continuing tests on Sulu, to examine him on circuits K-one and three. (TOS: "The Naked Time")
In 2267, Lieutenant Commander Montgomery Scott, leading a repair party aboard the USS Constellation, employed a trident scanner to cross-connect the warp drive control circuits to those of the impulse engines. (TOS: "The Doomsday Machine")
In 2364, Wesley Crusher, under the influence of polywater intoxication, modified the circuits of model tractor beam and connected it to the starship's computer systems, locking himself inside the main engineering. (TNG: "The Naked Now")
While formulating an escape after becoming trapped in a turbolift with Lwaxana Troi in 2369, Troi caught Odo glancing at an exposed circuit in the corner of the lift's floor, wondering to himself how many volts were running though it. (DS9: "The Forsaken")
