never have touched one of these before. i live really close to an electronic components store, i can get nearly anything i need from there. i don't have kapton tape(don't know what it is either lol), and yes highly populated with mostly smd resistors, and some other things.

whats the process for replacing this?
 
In a highly populated area of the board and no Kapton tape, try it this way:

Apply lots of extra solder to one row of pins. Run the iron back and forth over that row until the solder on all pins is molten. Continue heating the solder and 'gently' lift up on that side of the IC (from the end) with a small screwdriver. Lift until the IC is at a 10-20° angle. Be VERY careful not to cut any traces with the screwdriver. Use desoldering braid to remove the solder from that row of pins (slide the braid between the pins and the pads). Flux will help the solder flow into the braid. When the solder has been removed and all of the pins on that side are free, add solder to the other row of pins and heat until the solder is molten. Slide the IC so that row of pins moves into the area that was under the IC (where there are no other components). Remove the IC and desolder all pads completely.

Add solder to one of the corner pads (preferably the one with the most copper for the trace/pad). Heat the solder and slide the IC into place. Solder the opposite corner. If the IC is in the correct position, solder the other pins. If you bridge two or more pins, remove it with the braid.

Be absolutely sure that you don't heat adjacent components by making contact with the with the braid, the solder or the iron.
 
alright, replaced the ic @U3, triple checked for solder bridges.

problem is, still have blinking protect light. the squeak sound is more evident now than before.

dunno what to do next. also with fused removed and applying remote power, get a slight lighting of both thermal and protect LED's.

tried to power up with 15 amp fuse, it blew as soon as power was applied. tried 30 amp, didnt blow, but got the flashing protect.

does other ic need replacing? if not whats next to test etc?
 
I don't know if anything else has changed but the output agrees with the input now. It previously did not.

Is the voltage the same as the last time you posted the voltage on this IC? If not, repost the voltages. Copy and paste the following list.

U3
Pin 1:
Pin 2:
Pin 3:
Pin 4:
Pin 5:
Pin 6:
Pin 7:
Pin 8:
Pin 9:
Pin 10:
Pin 11:
Pin 12:
Pin 13:
Pin 14:
