I did a little research and it seems the batch of components Castle used in V1 and V2 had frequent occurrences where the physical casing of the individual surface mount components was made too thin. So, all that was needed was a little jarring (maybe weakened during shipping), or even a change of atmospheric pressure to cause the smoke to break through the thin shell. And we all know once the smoke leaves, no workie no more.
