Quoted from TomGWI:So do all the boards have this problem? wtatumjr says it is a common problem. Seems pretty serious if the game and set on fire. Should there not be some type of service bulletin regarding this?

Quoted from herg:I opened my game today, and sure enough it has the smaller inductor. At this point, it doesn't show signs of high heat.

Here's another picture 20 minutes after turning the game on, still in attract.

That's 127C! Since we don't know the part number of the installed inductor, I don't the what is rated for, but the bigger one I linked to earlier is rated for 105C max.
What is the temp after a few games?
