I found a swollen cap (replaced) and a FET (DMO565R) split open.
The negative of the cap is connected to the ground of the FET so I hope it's the failed cap that popped the FET.
Board:
The big cap at an angle is the one that I have replaced
FET:
My problem is the FET
Both Mantech and RS show no stock, ditto farnell and mouser further afield. (although I'm not very au fait with their search engines)
Ali express shows 4: https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-dmo565r.html
What are my chances that aliexpress FET will work? Are there any other places I can try. Stuck on the sharp end of Africa so shipping very quickly becomes a deal breaker.
Any advice/ wisdom appreciated, equivalent maybe?
