Anyone know where to get a MAX8632ETI from (in the UK ideally), as I have a nice Lenovo X60 laptop here that has suffered some water damage and one of the pins has corroded.

A PWM IC?
If it's on the inverter just replace the assembly these are cheap and not worth fiddling with.Elements of the past and the future combining to make something not quite as good as either. -

desolder it and clean off the corrosionsigpic

Not possible if the a pin corroded off. I have seen this happen.

Re: Max8632eti
ratdude747,
That is true, happened few times even a resistor's lead can get corroded in two. Okay, I had one monitor (extreme high end type using 20" Sony CRT) that uses earth's magnetic lines to sense which way monitor is "pointing" to automatically keep in convergence/pincushion geo things. It got liquid wet in there and it landed in one particular area and this happened to be a "compass" IC pin corroded off.
Since this is a exception due to this nature of monitor than just kick it along as unfixable, dug in and be so careful and extra finesse with dermel, ground the black package to expose internal pin and installed wire jumper (had to be twisted 2 fine strand wire from high gauge wire) with solder. Works great.
This package is size of a 8 pin SMD standard size but density of 16 pins means thinner lead legs.
