    any1 with a eeepc - I need help idenifying a part...

    Anyone with an eee pc Open!!!!!! Can you help me????

    I must be stupid... I was attempting to use a external battery to boost battery time and forgot to check my polarity (why is it always the simple stuff that kills you?)

    So I burned out what I think is a diode. The eee pc still works off the asus battery but the adapter will not charge it. That jives with the diode burning out. (at least I hope all it turns out to be)

    here is the location... (circled)

    I just hope I'll be able to get something to work in its place... Heck theres enough room that if I had to (and all it is for is polarity protection), I could get a regular sized diode and clip it down and solder it in.

    I guess I found two similar (at least they look similar) just up from the processor towards the battery labeled L4 and one by the (northridge?) labeled A2

    Can you help me select a replacement diode (I can solder it on.) digikey? jameco?

    I need someone to read the top of the part and tell me which way the line is.

    Thanks for your help...
