OBI202 Died out of the blue? Suggestions?

You have used side-cutters to cut through the can as close to the base as you can get?  Then pulled the remaining base of the two 'stumps'?  Use wirecutters to cut the lead as close as possible to the board on the other side from the capacitor.

Especially if the board is "lead free" old solder can be hard to melt.  Put more fresh solder on then remove with solder wick.  If you have some tin and lead alloy solder use that to lower the melting point of the mix.

I do have phones wired across the house 4 electronic ringers powered by this.  Have worked for years though so?  weird.

Are you using house wiring to connect the OBi to those phones?  If yes are you absolutely certain that the house wiring is completely physically disconnected from any telco line? Just because a phone line pair is supposedly not in service does not guarantee that it will not be exposed to local office battery or ringing voltage.
