Hi...

I have acquired a broken motherboard I'd like to repair, and it has a bad
regulator, marked NEC K3296. A post I found states it is the same as an NEC
2SK3296. Can't find any data or cross reference on it.

Anyone got any idea what I'd replace this with? (It's a three-leg TO-263
device with the center leg cut off).

There is some info on the NEC Chinese site:

http://www.necel.com/discrete/englis...o/to220ab.html

But clicking on a link to a data sheet shows a blank page. It would probably
have been in Chinese, anyhow!

Any help appreciated.

Ken
