I don't know that much about electronics mass production, but how is it possible to accidentally fit a capacitor?
You give them a list of parts (BOM) and where they go (CPL)... I suppose the pads were on the board in the cad system and they may have needed to be manually removed from the BOM/CPL before sending to the board house. Or someone at the factory added them back on thinking there was an issue?
Interesting. I have actually been having some strange issues for some time with my A1200 that goes away if I remove my M-Tec 1230. Doing some research I came across
this page, though it specifically mentions Apollo cards and ACA1230.
Symptoms are not quite as described in this thread, but if the components weren't supposed to be there in the first place I guess there's not harm in trying to remove these components?
