Last summer in the heat, a couple died. PS faults. They are in a roof
space which gets pretty hot in the sun. Turned out to be the SMPS IC.

Hopefully this won't be a cross-over with the "roof space fire" thread,
4x10W STBs, kept away from anything flammable?

They have zero in the way of ventilation slots, so would seem to run
pretty cool under normal conditions. No signs of overheating in the one
which had failed. All the caps in the SMPS fine too. Normally the first
thing to fail.
