Hi folks. Just joined this forum in the hope that you'll be able to help me out, I hope this is the right forum to post in.

I need to replace a transistor on my laptop motherboard that I carelessly knocked off while carrying out a another repair.

The marking on the top of it is 'K72'.

I've done some research, and I think it is an 2N7002W transistor.

The datasheet I've found is here;

**broken link removed**


Can anyone help to confirm that this is the correct one? I'm not sure how to identify the package, but when I look at other SOT-23 transistors, they have different markings. So I'm pretty sure this is the right one and is SOT-323.

I was going to buy them from here;

Agree !

From Digikey the following link

I found following matches:

2N7002DW SOT-363 K72
2N7002T SOT-523 K72
2N7002W SOT-323 K72

It is always the same device (2N7002), in three different packages.
As you have identified your device in a SOT-323 from outer
dimensions, then you can be pretty sure to buy the right one.
 

Well, I've not actually measured the dimensions. I just searched for K72 transistor, and found the data sheet. It is a smd on a motherboard, and is pretty small. So I think it would be the sot-323 package, but I better go double check it now.

if you are sure it is a transistor, use a standard n-channel MOSFET and wires. For example IRF 840

I'm not sure that is a MOSFET, as this page is a schottky diode, may appear that looks like a transistor
