Thanks for the reply, its not my PS3, its a friends who gave it to me to check. The guy looks like he did a cheap fan mod and now it has blown the 5V regulator. i cleaned it up and there is one big fat hole

I stay in South Africa though, their is literally one big fat hole in the board now, any idea where i can get a 5V regulator
i'm searching around google image etc and i'm coming up short in finding anything that looks like it.
so not sure if this will be a dead end for me.
maybe mr.dutch has seen where these can be bought?

now its clean can you do a new pic.

and can you make out what is printed on top of it?
