5 In mine one of output filter capacitor got broken - it had a crack on its body. Replacement of the capacitor fixed the shutdown on protection. Another question is what damaged the cap. Most likely there was a design mistake. I consider placement of the capacitors as a possible problem - they are too close to the output inductors. Anyway you can look at my solution - I posted it.
