OK, here goes. I have a mini itx motherboard (Aopen DE965-HG, design is most similar to a laptop motherboard), that I accidentally dropped a screw on while it was plugged in. It was not turned on, but the screw shorted two pins on the APW7080 chip, and powered on the system. I pulled the plug immediately, but not quick enough before I could tell there was a small bubble on the chip and I could smell the smoke. From the datasheet, I can tell a Taiwanese company named 'Anpec' manufactures it, and it's some sort of a step down converter. Beyond that, I am clueless as to what it does. I can easily remove it and replace it, and there is no other visible damage to the board.
There is no replacement that I can find that I can order (Ebay, Findchips), so does anyone know enough about this thing to point me to an equivalent that I can order somewhere?
I have a pretty good collection of dead electronics boards sitting around, but I can't find anything other than an APW7120, which I don't think is close enough to work.
Thanks in advance for any help, you're really saving my ass on this one.
