Wow, even the redesigned part failed. Time to dike out the part and replace it. It's good for 100 power-ups. Do the big caps still look good?

Everything else looks clean and bright. The bits and pieces of the thermistor don't help with getting the full part number on it. Can you tell from the photo just what it is?
Have you a link to that SL5R020 from the last one?
This one seems a little bigger than that one.
I still think it could be me doing this somehow, but I can't pin down just how or when. Last time I used the charger in September it ran ok and finished the charge. I had no clue anything was wrong then. Then I tried it the other day and no start at all and found this.
I figure it happened at the start of the last recharge in September, but it managed to get into running stage, so the in-rush T wasn't needed anymore so it was able to keep running like nothing was wrong?
