So there is a 3 pin thing regulator like thing mounted flat on the = motherboard (PCChips M925LR) next to the DIMM memory sockets. The memory = was not properly seated and so the part turned red with heat. And now = the motherboard no longer starts .. can't even get to BIOS so need to = replace that part (it is sorted all the way) but have been unable to = identify what it actually is. The part looks like the drawing below; it = is soldered directly flat on the motherboard to what seems like the = ground pad. The middle connector is cut off and left hanging and the = other 2 are connected to separate pads.=20
It measures 0.5cm in both length and width. I checked alldatasheet.com = and all I found was a MultiPlexed 2-wire Hall effect sensor IC but I = doubt this is that.
