I know just how you feel, luke. I've had the same fortune with Li-Ion batteries, capacitors, and now some antennas... Only in my case they're purposefully mislabeled.

Ahh yes. The lovely fraud by china taobao sellers. Crack open the 200uF capacitor and it contains a 10uF one inside.
Mike on the other hand has a solid relationship with his suppliers, one he buys a million components a year from.

Has anything else become known about this particular issue? Were the regulators the only problem or only the first known problem? I guess travel and logistics complicate things here, but I seem to remember it being mentioned that replacement regulators were on their way.

P.S. I hope Canada is working out and is not too cold at this time of year compared to your usual places of residence. ;-)
(I read recently that Canada doesn't have mandated national limits for lead in public water supplies, which happens to be yet another huge concern for marginalised communities, this alongside the matter of multinationals apparently taking whatever drinkable water those communities might have had in order to sell big-name bottled water to affluent consumers.)

I am in Newmarket, Canada now, I don't have au equipment here.

You are along the right lines, I don't know. What I suspect is a change in the design of the SY8008B where it's not switching on because the EN resistor is 47k.
I need to speak with Mike to ask him to replace it and do remote diagnostics

It's ridiculous. 40C to 4C...
