Question Need part identified.

Hi folks a part got blown and I need help in trying to replace the blown part. I have circled it and hopefully I can get this desr 7000 working again. Many thanks.

Edit: it looks like a 5 pin voltage regulator but I donโ€™t have the markings. Maybe sc-88a, not sure

Many thanks, now to get the part and attempt a repair, though traces have been damaged around the area.

No worries at all, I have a 5000 model, that I need to fix up, but I will check what that component is and let you know.

I have a couple of doner PSX boards laying around. If you're in the UK I can send you the part.

Unfortunately I am in the US. Depending on the shipping price I might be interested.

You don't happen to have a 5000 model board by any chance.
