Wait, that chip you blew up is a voltage regulator? I thought the six FETs were it, or is that some sort of LM317 for the fans?
And is that big box thing damaged as well?

Yes, notice the hole in the chip. The number on it was ST1S10, on mouser it comes up as a voltage reg. This particular jala is the one that took out the same power supply. When I used a good power supply it blew that chip.... doesn't necessarily mean that's the problem though....
The blown caps are on the blocks DC output side, everything else looks fine. I'm not sure what you mean by big box thing? If you mean the USB controller chip, I ordered a couple. I have 2 jala's that wont register in windows... trust me I researched it on two PC's and 3 different miner programs. Again everything is just to the best of my knowledge, I'm out on a string with some of this stuff.
The 2 mouser chips I got ordered are
ST1S10 (Voltage reg)
FT232HQ (FTDI driver chip for USB)
Yes I'm in the USA unfortunately.
What the hell is that? U15 is the power supply from 12 volts to 3.3 volts. That's the control bus power for the chips (the hash engines run on the 1 volt supply). Wow.
You had a cool failure. Swap the parts out, that chip first. And use a fuse inline with your power supply to keep blowing things to a min. Maybe a 4 amp fuse or something.
