Apologies, I have a memory like a sieve... I have thought of this on a few occasions over the last few weeks, but it's always been while at work or on the way to and from work... as I said nearly 2 months ago, I believe I do still have some of these boards lying about, but I do need to check (not to mention: remember) - so don't get your hopes up.

While we're on the subject - another problem these particular boards are prone to is leaky electrolytic capacitors. If you have any capacitors leaking brown goo like the ones here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_caps

Then you are looking at replacing all of them.

Both of my 7VTXE boards had this problem, the 7VTXE+ was unaffected. It's the luck of the draw. I was able to get some use out of them, at the cost of reduced performance, by clocking them down to 100MHz FSB.

Capacitors are not a problem, all of them have already been replaced.
The curious thing, once solved my serch, is that the component I was trying to identify is the same that is in the vicinity of the battery: 15N03H.

Now is time to check if the motherboard is able to work.:haha:
