I think that water damage is a culprit in some cases, and im not sure if it causes the PCB to separate, or if it destroys components on the boards due to shorting circuits. I cant recall which model, im guessing E36 3 series, had a problem where the ignition coil would crack inside, and destroy the ECUs.
