BTW, I was looking at my burnt up Quark, and noticed that the two negative leads on the two caps are broke, so there would be no connection. I am wondering if this had anything to do with it cogging (probably), but whether that would cause it to start on fire? :032:

Wow, the caps effectively not being there could certainly cause the cogging. But, I think the burnt FETs was caused by the extreme currents during the cogging. A domino effect...

Yeah, and maybe the cap I had on there (10,000uF, 25v) was not good enough for the Quark then? I was looking closer at the caps leads, I can't tell if they are melted off, or broken off, this doesn't make any sense?! :032:
