Sooooo..... that's why a few Monsters have died peacefully, while most are going strong and should not have such issues.
Castle told me today that any Monsters that are sent in are being put at the front of the line... and it's a simple component swap.

I've seen this happen a lot since I started selling electronic components and it will happen more not only with Castle, but any electronic device being made. A tape/reel will some times have a few chips that will fail. I have to say that the few that went bad shows how good Castle's manufacturing really is. I had Philips Brasil try to blame me for 75,000 TV sets that went bad. Funny thing is that Philips bought a Philips MOSFET from me that was in a sealed package. I told Philips Brasil to deal with Philips as they were the manufacturer. Funny how I can sell Philips components to Philips
