    The cost of repair/diagnostics could very well exceed the cost of the original board. You could also have lifted tracks, blown resistors/caps/fets etc. Just replacing one part is no guarantee that it will fix the board.

    Sick as a little Hospital over it.Took six weeks to come from china and i only have it 2 weeks.Seems to be only one chip burned.Would love to be able to get it fixed locally but have no idea where this could be fixed.

    How have you identified the damaged chip?

    Even if you have correctly identified the chip in question, sourcing a new one and replacing is not a trivial job. It would easily cost more than the entire value of the device.

    :(
