While I agree with the probably diagnosis that it's most likely
the breaker, it disturbs me to see yet another person blindly replacing
components. My mechanic is that way, replacing/overhauling things that
are not necessarily bad, just because if they were it could cause the
problem. From what I've seen, there's a pretty big lack of
troubleshooting ability from a lot of people who are just *used* to
spending lots of money on possibly unnecessary parts.

That said, sounds like it probably is your breaker... hopefully
that'll fix it. I'd pull out an ammeter and power supply (or battery with
different loads) and test for current tripping point. I'd imagine the
main breaker is $100 or more.

YMMV

something else up.
