Thanks, Phil. That's also the conclusion I've come to, so it's nice
to get a bit of a sanity check that I'm not overlooking something
obvious.

Right now I'm working under the theory that the SC1019 module is OK,
because I otherwise can't explain why C54 would be burned to a crisp.
A bad PA module could cause excessive current through Q17 but it
shouldn't have affected that capacitor.

I'll let you know what happens when I put it back together.
