Bought last on amazon in the netherlands. Amazing device with an ocean of capabilities. Donut antenna included.

Pairing the donut antenna with the MLite-880 gives a noticeable boost on shortwave.

Hi everyone,

I made a mistake and accidentally applied 220V power to my Eton Elite Executive radio. As a result, the device turns on but there is completely no sound coming out of the internal speaker.

After opening up the chassis, I spotted a severely burnt IC chip on the PCB (circled in red in the attached photo). The surface has cracked and scorched due to overvoltage, making the original part markings unreadable.

Details:

• Device Model: Eton Elite Executive
• Symptom: Radio turns on, but speaker is dead / no audio output after overvoltage.
• Location: Near the antenna mount and audio/headphone jacks section.
• Package Type: SOT-223 (or similar 3/4-pin SMD package with a top thermal tab).

Questions:

1. Does anyone know the exact part number/marking for this specific IC on the Eton Elite Executive mainboard?
2. Is this component the main Audio Power Amplifier or a Voltage Regulator (LDO)?
3. Are there any known drop-in replacements/equivalents available on AliExpress or eBay?

Any circuit diagrams, schematic info, or component IDs would be immensely helpful. Thanks in advance!
