It's hard to know the damage without poking around inside. I'd start by measuring resistances across various capacitors to see what supply rails are shorted/damaged. If you're lucky it only took out one regulator and you can replace that chip and be on your way. Unlucky it's possible that chip shorted to the downstream components blowing them in the process too.
>From looking at a few pics online it seems that there's a couple switching regulators near the power connector. Look around there; it's possible an IC is even burnt/cratered. Once you find the suspect part now you have the problem of finding the part number to replace it with. It's hard enough with SMT components but once they are fried it usually makes the markings unreadable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rpress's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31544 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103710 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
