Second time this Caldigit dock has failed on me (first time was a warranty replacement).

It lives in a metal case but there is zero thermal coupling between the electronics and the case and zero airflow. I suspect this has caused accelerated aging of the power supply MLCCs.

Pretty nice electronic design, shame about the thermals...

@russss out of interest, which model is that one?

@andypiper the "USB-C Pro Dock"

@russss thanks! I have a couple of CalDigit products but not that one (the port layout didn’t match what I have).

@russss my guess would be that black alupoly cap is the one that has suffered. they really don't like the heat.
