This is a "big" smd part, so even with a fine tip iron, you can easily replace it.
The harder thing will probably be to remoove the failed one.
AME8805AEFT (the AEFT thing tells the output voltage and package, so
it needs to be AEFT) can be ordered from aliexpress/alibaba, hard to find for me in usual shops.
datasheet:
http://pdf.datasheetcatalog.com/datasheet/ame/ame8805.pdfIt could be replaced with the following pin to pin compatible, but not tested (it took some time to dig them out)
some of them are available from mouser
AP7215-33YG-13
AP1115BY33
AX1113BF
AX6647-33-E
AX6647-33-F
When ordering, check that these are SOT89 package with the following pinout:
pin 1 is ground
pin 2 is the input (center tab) +5V
pin 3 is the output +3.3v
Thanks for the infor J4bber, really appreciate the part comparison. I went ahead and ordered a few AP7215-33YG-13 from Mouser, and for the hell of it I ordered 50x AME8805AEFT from Utsource (couldn't pass up a good deal!).
Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) the seller decided to give me a refund on the blade if I ship it back to him, so I now no longer need these chips. Oh well, at least if someone else needs them, I'll have stock in the US in a few weeks.
Thanks again for the help, and if anyone needs any AME8805AEFT's in the US, shoot me a PM.
