I was under the impression that the chip marked "LTNP" was the one that burned out when the wrong charger was used (see link). I could be wrong, but maybe the LTNP dies when a charger with the wrong polarity is used, whereas the caps go when the voltage is exceeded. It would be interesting to test this theory. But who's going to kill at least two iRivers just to find out?
