Hi Kurt

After the beheading of the MC make sure to keep polarity straight.
If you dont keep polarity straight you will start welding diodes.
I have had to replace the bypass diodes on a couple of these modules.
You can pry the lid off the junction box and then carfully dig out the 
potting to get at the diode terminals. After soldering in a new diode I 
pour self leveling potting compound,let it cure, and snap the lid back 
on. I'm sure this voids the warannty but I doubt the manufactuer would 
cover this kind of damage any way. This saves the dealer the cost of a 
module. Why people don't use fuses on every string on systems over 2 
strings I dont understand.

PS: remember it's hard to keep your head when all those around you are 
loosing theirs.
