Yes. You heard me right. I need a single U10/U9 transistor off of a motherboard. I don't think the revision matters, but if it does I'm using a six layer board. I broke a solitary leg off of both of them, and I doubt I can get it back on. I'm willing to pay for shipping, and we can discuss a price for the chip.

Please help me. I need it ASAP because my custom regulators are ready to roll and I want to ensure that the board boots before spending more time working on it.

You guys are the best!

I can't ship it till Monday because I have to meet up with a bunch of nerds in the middle of bumfuck nowhere this weekend. If thats soon enough for you, hit me up.

Edit:
As a side note, you CAN test the board without the U10. This can get the board to boot, and is useful for testing, but is an awkward solution that should not be used in a portable.
Step 1: get a switch. A tact switch is perfect, but a toggle will work too.
Step 2: wire one end of the tact switch to the U10 line
Step 3: wire the other end to 3.3v
Step 4: apply power to the console as you normally would. The console should not boot. This is normal.
Step 5: press the tact switch. The console should boot.
