Another Powersonic. $49, plus about $10 shipping. Installed the new one this morning and I'm back in business.

Probably not excessive heat cycling - I don't actually engage the ESC very often. Maybe once a week. I know - anathema.

Just out of curiosity (and laziness): Does Odyssey make basically the same thing, but exact same dimensions?
