Hello, The sem-conductor device damaged on this board has 8 legs, labelled 4422 BA536R. On one side the solder pads are OK but the opposite side has heat damage. Please see the photo links. http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/6672/acerboarddamage.jpg http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/5861/acerboarddamage2.jpg Is this repairable? If yes, can you recommend someone? Thanks, Mike

doubt it - its scored down atleast a layer of the pcb

motherboards can be browned but will still function aok, and generally once the damage has been done its simply not worth repair especially if that means a new motherboard etc


Sorry I forgot to mark the location of the damaged device which is at the bottom, slightly left of the middle of first photo link.
