I bent the fins away from the connectors on my MMMs but I may also put some shrink around them too. Time to take them all apart again!!! Whoo hoo.

really, they tested this? hmmm. well, remember guys, this is probably a rare occurence but i thought everyone should know. i am not sure if this calls for de-soldering and everything but i dont know. maybe thats the best route. it seems we have been having to mod the MMMs since day one to make a better mousetrap, huh.

Ya he said that but I bent the fins on the heat sink & put shrink tube over the bullets anyway to avoid this.
