Many ECG ICs are proprietary (e.g., "ECG003A"). The PDF manual's BOM will show a "Source Code" or "Alternative." Use NTE Electronics or Renesas Cross Reference to find modern equivalents.
Symptom: ECG powers on. Leads I, III, aVR, aVL, aVF work fine. Lead II is flatline.

Fix: Desoldered U5. Soldered new INA118 (available from Mouser). Lead II instantly returned. Many ECG ICs are proprietary (e
Lesson: Without the PDF’s semiconductor pinout, this was guesswork. With the manual, it was a 20-minute repair.
Note: While not a semiconductor, a shorted tantalum cap is often misdiagnosed as a shorted transistor. If your manual shows a capacitor C23 (10µF, 16V) with 0 ohms, it is not the IC.
