Experts,
This thing is amazing. For $70USD, I threw a 1TB SSD in it, and it worked flawlessly-until it broke. Just wouldn't boot.
One day, she didn't wake up...! Attempted to revive with firmware upgrade, but the USB bus doesn't recognize it. Open heart surgery, and found a cap exploded, causing this chip to overheat & crack. I can make out AC7VA clearly on the top, but that is it. Google search pulls up nothing.
Would appreciate clues, replacements/equivalents, anything. A replacement is $80, but it's
perso0nal now!
TIA
P.S. Attached are a microscope shot of the chip, and for context the entire top of the PCB on the iodd 2541...
Many, MANY times I tried... In various languages, but did not want to call them, as I don't know anyone who speaks Korean, and it costs a lot to talk to the other side of the world. Zero contact, and I offered to buy the part, the schematic, anything.
I do see that @amyk somehow managed to identify it!
