Would anyone have an idea on this problem? The set seems to work ok but the
regulator IC, STR51041 seems very hot. The case temp gets up about 70 c
after 30 minutes or so, that's about 158 f. The data sheet shows the max
operating temp as 125 c or 257 f. Well within specs but still pretty hot. It
has failed twice along with two transistors and two resistors. Capacitors
have been checked and/or replaced also.
