Hello AAC-members,
First time poster, long time electronics hobbyist.
My Kobo Aura H2O ebook didn't charge anymore (battery was immediately reaching 100% when inserting charger) and I found a burned, what I believe to be, voltage regulator. I would like to replace it but cannot quite figure out maker and specs. Battery was already replaced.
Does anyone recognized this SOT-23 part or have Kobo schematics?
The PCB silkscreen menitions "U3" and the component imprint reads U?5GA where I suspect ? to be either "Y" or "P". Please feel free to have a look at the attached picture. There is also a similar component close to it reading UP5GB (so might the same)
I hope someone can support, it would be a shame to dispose of a perfectly working ebook for a 10 cents component. Issue was caused by faulty wall charger that also blew up my Galaxy S10.
Thank you so much.
With best regards,
TheRealShadowHunter
