From what I've seen and read, WFCO converters fail mainly because two power resistors soldered to the main board get too hot, resulting in either a fracture of the solder joint or slow changing of the board substrate into a carbon-like conductor. This is independent of the "won't go into boost mode" issue, and independent of market penetration.
Would this be a fix as simple as replacing a 1/2 watt resistor with a 2 watt resistor?
I wonder if it would be worth the effort as a maintenance item as soon as the warranty is out.
