So before seeing the notice to stop running these I tried running about 8 of my boards (half due to missing mini-planes that already got worked out).  Of these half all died (no more green light), I'm not running the remaining although there were a couple initial ones that never got the green light on initial power up.

My preference is to send all back to get fixed because I'm not confident in my low level electronics repair skill and I filled out the form the best I could to indicate this but wanted to give details here for anyone concerned.  My other concern is the statement that this is isolated, this has hit 100% of the boards I've tested before ceasing trying to run them so I'm curious what was meant by them being isolated and not all boards are affected by the component failure.

Thanks in advance!

All boards are affected by the component failure. The isolated statement refers to the fault being isolated to the two particular components mentioned, not the rest of the board, the idea being that repairing this will sort the problem out.
