An F1 DPR chip arrived on my doorstep to be fixed. It looked perfectly OK but would not run when connected to a chassis and tested on a powerbase. After a check of the components, I found that three of the four diodes were not working at all so I replaced them with 1A Schottkys .........

All still looking OK ....... time to test my handy work .......![[Image: smile.gif]](https://www.slotforum.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Reassembled back onto the testbed, I pulled the throttle back and woomph!
... very bright flames & tons of acrid smoke.
As you can see, the dual MOSFETs, top left, has decided to expire. It is a dual MOSFET bereft of any magical smoke, it is an ex-MOSFET.
