Wonder if this is the little part thats coming lose thats causing so many problems for these poor guys having meltdowns ??????

COuld there be a defect in the soldering process thats not allowing these items to bond properly? My MMM has been at cc for almost a month now and it JUST got onto the repair floor...

Yeah but i think his missing component is in a different location

I am fully aware of that and also that it is another inductor and that "there have only been 3 componets come off the board" and the shock loads are extreme. To which I have replied my findings. If I am wrong then I am wrong, but the leads are still there and and looks cleanly broken from the solder. Could be a manufacturer defect on the part itself, who knows but it's not bonding there obviously. 100G's I have already shown the load of 100 G's on a part of that size.

Actually that component has the markings of our 10V and 30V TVS

Well, not only are you missing a part, but the inductor is also physically broken. The inductor is the part right next to the missing part (square with a circular interior.) It should be symmetrical, the bottom left corner (in your picture) is missing. Without that piece of ferrite, the magnetic path is broken, and the part won't perform correctly.

I would suggest that you return it for repair. The impact that broke free the TVS was hard enough to break the inductor. What did you hit??

I didn't even notice that, worked just fine the last run ?
The last time I ran it I didn't even hit a lot of jumps, Where I gently pried the case open was on the opposite side of the broken parts. I'm sure you've heard this a million times but,
"I don't know what happened to it ?"
Ben really busy, I'm gonna try to mail it out befor the end of the week.
