These pictures come from a Dynapower USA DP-40205 400W power supply. It appears the standby regulation failed and took out the FET pictured above and also the capacitor and resistor near the top of the fan. The exploded piece of the FET was rattling around the power supply when it was opened and the part that remained on the board was loose. It’s suspected the capacitor damage was from overvoltage when the regulator failed for unknown reasons. Credit: http://blog.kevtris.org/

Dynapower DP-40205 with exploded FET
Wednesday, November 25th, 2009Resistor and PIC16F872 burned in a Weller WESD51
Wednesday, November 4th, 2009Weller WESD51 fails with a resistor and a PIC burning up with no apparent cause. Weller fixed this under warranty and put a new tip on the iron as a little extra. Credit: http://www.rtach.com/pics/burn2.jpg
Resistors destroyed by RF
Thursday, October 29th, 2009Resistor was turned into a dipole antenna and coupled to the parts seen. They were destroyed when brought near a 40-50W radio transmitter. Credit: http://www.kevtris.org/
