I'm guessing this is not normal?

Seems like you overclocked the miner. right? or you applied a non standard DC input?
A change of that capacitor will fix your issue. Those resistors are damaged of not?
If overclocking did that, I'm not sure I want to try and OC mine now. I am one of a lucky few that got four miners that work stable at 440Gh/s on sock freq 218.75.
With this hardware, overclocking id risky.
But the question at hand is did you OC and get that damage from it and if so, what freq was it on and what did you jump to from it ?
There's been plenty of people OC here and none I have seen reported these kinds of issues.
No I didn't do an overclock. But your symptoms as per the images force me to think like that.
I used to overclock my gpus long back and got into this kind of isues.
I usually get this kind of a thing when voltage of the chip(s) increased.
Wonder what the hell happened then.
I may still try to OC mine, stat with one, let it go for a few hrs then another etc.
I'm hoping I can do 250 to get to ~500, I might get lucky with that since I got four S3 that has stable at stock around 440. People seem to have issues with OC'ing on units that dont do 440 at stock.
