Thanks for the info. I'm thinking the issue may have been a PWM ground that momentarily touched a +12v spike input. Would that do it?

I can back that up. I've actually done it! We had wires come loose and the DSC shorted. We discovered this 5 minutes before our quarter finals match, and I changed it in 3. One of those "can't believe that happened" moments.

pay close attention to the picture, the culprit is mutated Woodstock, the bird from Charlie Brown cartoo n (white smiley face next to FET)!

If you can find a replacement chip, any competent solderer should be able to fix the sidecar.
