Dewalt welder died on me mid-beam in Kansas City

I was out at a grain elevator job last Thursday running 3/32 7018 rod and my old DC inverter just went dark. No spark, no fan, nothing. I checked all the breakers and cords but it was dead dead. Had to borrow a Miller from a crew down the way to finish up. Anyone else have a welder just quit without warning and figure out what caused it?

Did you pop the case and check for burnt capacitors?

Oh man, did you actually crack it open yet or just swap machines? I'm betting it blew a cap too - those DC inverters LOVE to cook their caps when they get hot.
