THIS WAS NOT FROM OCing, THE MINER CAME THIS WAY
Holy crapt people, I am really sorry I didn't see this sooner, one person suggests a cause for this, and everyone jumps on the band wagon lol.
I open up all new computers before I turn them on in my house as a matter of principal. I opened this miner, and saw this. Naturally after seeing this, I did not plug it in. No idea what will happen.
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.
Looks a lot like a capacitor blew after a power surge from something like nearby lightning, its almost identical to what the PCB on my LG monitor looked like after lightning struck the parking lot across the highway from my office.
Are you guys using high joules surge protectors for your miners?
If not, you are risking the same as shown (boards blown). There are plenty of thunderstorms in the summer in my area, so I stocked up at the Microcenter on a few of surge protectors.
