Good Morning everyone.
Of course I found this forum searching online in a moment of despair.
I want to say hi as first time poster and thank you to anyone than can help me.
A Crucial MX500 died yesterday. Upon disassembly I discovered that the regulator/converter
U500 is burning hot. My question is about that component, since what it does will determine
the course of action. If it's only a regulator I can try to remove it it and use a wire-brige,
otherwise I will to replace it.
Also if anyone is familiar with this new type of Crucial board and their fault I will appreciate
any recommendation.
U500 (the 12 pin chip in the left) is burning, C674, C675, C676, C500 and C673 measure
as shorted. 5V are present at R1 pads (component is not present). No voltages measured
at L501.
Thank you again for your time and help.
