Question Dead regulator chip?

I bought a broken PW2 off ebay thinking it would be an easy fix, just a Repair Code:2 (I was wrong). I lifted the tx pad so I went to the TM800 and TM801 pads, but then the kindle stopped working completely. I was confused as I wasnt getting a serial output either, the screen backlight turned on but nothing. Today I started experimenting again and while having the serial line connected, I checked continuity between TX and ground, and I got some logs from the Kindle! (Of course I got serial working when its broken )

Here is the log: https://pastebin.com/PKnfKXEM

I see that "max77696-epd max77696-epd.0: EPDINT: Regulator Fault Detected [02]" is getting mentioned, which i'm guessing means a busted voltage regulator.

Is it possible for me to have a go and replace it?
