A minor set back before it'll be going again
(i hope). There is one good thing about it though, I know how to wire them now! 
Topic: Burnt a chip on my blade erupter :( (Read 2576 times)
yep I think bad power is exactly what it was and i hate to admit it but I fear it might have been my fault. I bought 2 and got the second one hashing away nicely. I've got 50 chips coming from china this week (it was cheaper to buy 50 rather than 1!) and I've found someone in my town who has the tools to solder it properly for me.

Man, what happened, is your power supply not regulated or something?
nice one thanks. I have actually got some ordered from China. I was just being a bit impatient. Kind of hurts to know it's just sat in a box doing nothing right now when it should be busy hashing away
Check with these guys, they'll sell individual components.

They don't have yours listed, but they very well might be able to get it to you.

ah on second look I think i'm being stupid. It won't do the job
So not being too great at electronics I'm wondering if i might have found a donor part to fix my blade. I need one of these http://www.vishay.com/docs/72713/si4394dy.pdf and I have one of these http://www.vishay.com/docs/70796/70796.pdf
I'm probably not reading it right but they look very similar. Just wondering if it might do the job?
Cheers

it was just a private sale but yes maybe not a bad idea. I'll see where he got them from.
Contact the seller, blades are supposed to have a 6 month warranty.
great thanks! Looks like it's only $10 to buy 40 more so I'm going to grab 50 of them. If anyone else here finds themselves in the same situation as me I should have some spares
yeah and sadly not a fuse anyway.
Though I might have found a solution:
PART NUMBER: SI4394DY-T1-E3
DESCRIPTION: VISHAY SOP
MOQ: 10pcs
UNIT PRICE: USD $3.00
From http://www.eis-ic.com/english/
So assuming it's the right part then it's not too much to have to fork out to fix it. Plus I'll have some extras if anyone else here blows one

The fuses are the standard vehicle type. Any garage will have them, they'll sometimes give you a few if you ask nicely - they're beyond cheap, I think it's about £5 for 100 when you're buying them from a wholesaler.
Not on the v2 blades, the fuses are surface mount fuses.

cheers - i actually got a couple of them with the board. It's a shame that didn't go first as i'd have two boards up and running now. Still if it can be fixed I'll be a happy guy.
yeah i saw some that said 1 for minimum order. I just sent a few emails off I'll see if any come back positive. Fingers crossed. I was gutted when i saw it smoking. It only just arrived today too!
I just had a 1200W PSU start melting one of it's cables (melted the modular connector at the PSU) so all my blades are stopped atm, accept for two I put temp on another PSU, only to semi-freak out when nothing happens after plugging them in, first thing I did was replace the fuse and it works (yay). However I am noticing the fuse that was in the blade from the factory was an 8A, however the extra fuses that came with the blades are all 10A... Anyhow, extra fuse solved it fast, but left me looking for the fuses online, so it's always handy to have some around.

Amazing thank you so much! Now to see if can find anyone who'll sell me just one 
Thanks again
Thanks again
There were a few sellers on there that noted the minimum at one piece, but you never know
Might try checking with Newark.com I didn't search there, but they have awesome phone support for stuff like this.

Awesome thanks! On further looking though judging from the surrounding chips i'm going to assume that the mark on it is:
4394
NK∆
W21C
So would that be a different one? My electronics isn't great so the help is much appreciated.
EDIT: Apparently it's a MOSFET but googling 4394 MOSFET doesn't look as productive as the 4320
