The capacitors are soldiered solidly but the mining module itself is quite heavy. Once all the modules are loose,  they hit each other with formidable energy during shipping and handling. So, the capacitors pins are broken half-way above the soldiering. Nothing to do with poor soldiering, everything to do with the fact that a BROKEN unit was packaged and shipped, as I documented in my original post.

Surely things like this can happen to any manufacturer, handling cases like this in a consistent and timely manner is another matter.
