Re: Burnt Spot on Mini Controller

["AZ Woody" <Reply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've not seen this (and I have some mini's I've used for 10 years), but I'd
probably try gluing some (double layer?) Aluminum foil inside the case, (a
sq. 1"?) centered over the source of the heat.  This should help to spread
out the heat, so the spot doesn't appear.

Anyway, just a thought.
