So I finally found a little more time to dissect the Curtis.  I used my angle
grinder and cut around the inside edges of the very hard poured (plastic?)
resin on the front of the controller.  Finally it came out (IP 65 does have
it's drawbacks).

I noticed right away that two black MOSFETs are totally destroyed.  The next
one over (with a white backing) might also be damaged, I'm not sure.

I didn't see any problems with the capacitors (figures, since I already
bought a few replacements), but it actually looks like an easier repair if I
had two of them, plus the slightly different round one.

See pictures here:

How can I get MOSFET replacements?  Two are the same, one is slightly
different, though they appear to be soldered in similarly.
