Hello fellow Hobbyists,
some days ago some magic smoke came out my SSD, at first glance I thought that was just the glue of a resistor getting hot. I got proven wrong, as I rebooted it didn't recognistse the drive ananymore. An important side note might be that the SATA Data connection still picked up the SSD, it just didn't had power to run I guess, which is why i disassembled the drive and see, a blown IC.
Something must had badly gone wrong with the input 12V/5V... I think the Chip is some sort of Buck Converter but I am not sure at all. As for my research, it could be a Chip from Linear Technology, yet I couldnt find any datasheets nor a specific part number.
The chip itself is some sort of SMD package, 10 pin. I'm not into SMD parts, sorry.
It says on the Chip:
LBFB
N088
14X (it's blown here, as this is only the date code, I guess it doesn't matter that much.)
**broken link removed**
(Don't ask me why it turned the picture around...)
Best answer would be, whats the ICs real part number, manufacturer (if I'm wrong with LT...) and where I can get low quantities of it.
Thanks a lot and happy searching... I've spent about 10 hours in searching for the manufacturer...
