I think it's safe to say if you purchased a flotsam from CircuitCo (Technodisti) please contact them before using it. Reports I'm getting (while on vacation, and without access to my work E-mail) seem to indicate that there's a cap that might be installed backwards, resulting in the exciting pictures we've seen over the last couple of days. If you've got a flotsam that has "popped" please contact your seller or [email protected], please specifically CC my work address john.hawley (at) intel.com when you E-mail. I'm asking CircuitCo to contact those who have bought with instructions on how to check the capacitor, and if it's reversed to proceed with a replacement immediately. As soon as I've got instructions on how to check the capacitor, I'll post information. - John "Warthog9" Hawley -- Sent from Kaiten Mail.
