Comment on Is this soldered controller repairable by an amateur?
incogtino@lemmy.zip 3 weeks agoThanks, if that is the pad below the resistor I assume that component is also damaged and would likely replace it as well. I’ll do some searching and reading on the capacitor, is a U1 chip something generic or will it have markings to indicate specs?

A bit of context for you:
U1 is a reference for the PCB designer and assembler (if soldered by hand).
The information you need to find a replacement is the etched text on top of the IC (Integrated circuit, a.k.a “chip”).
If you’re able to read that, put the whole thing into Google or Octopart or your electronics component supplier of choice (Mouser, DigiKey, Farnell, etc). and you should find the IC you need.
