Not quite ready to join this club as yet, though I'm resigned to the notion that I will be become a member soon! :

My lifted pad was actually TORN off and I found the Cap/Pad (along with a couple other components) inside the anti-static envelope. It/they must have been knocked off while the card was in storage or during shipment.

Thanks for all the great info in this thread gang! :b&w:
