Hello, I have a toshiba C850 (MB PLF/PLR/CSF UMA REV 1.1). It had a shorted buck controller that I will replace but there is another component that I can't identify that had got very hot and splattered solder here and there. It looks to be a transistor. The best I can make of the markings is "2150j". I don't have a schematic (the only one I could find here on Badcaps was not the same one). Is anybody able to identify this item? I've googled without luck. Hardly any of the components are labelled on the MB. I've also checked all my scrap boards to try and find the same IC but no luck. Some photos attached. Grateful for any help.

Originally posted by ktmmotocross View Postlooks like some kind of power switch to that connector. so it may be transistor. but why its contacts bridged?
what component is connected by this connector?
This is an expensive board to buy too, drat.

Check for similarities on similar mainboards. Here is snapshot from another inventec mainboard. I think somebody has changed the sot23 already. The component is most likely similar on many mainboards. Is the 3rd leg connected to gnd and another two to clk and data?

@sparker1
probably too late but i also read 2150j (very small 0) on my board which is a rev 2.1 of that motherboard model.
if you want me to test that component i could probably check some pn junctions but in circuit you can't always be sure of the results..
i've got a "dead" c850 with that board, did you manage to find a schematic for it ?
it's not the inventec dakar dk10 available in many places.
