I have a wireless keyboard that uses rechargeable Lithium-ion battery, the battery is flat and it won't recharge, instead the circuit becomes very hot. I checked the coponents on the circuit for any sign of burns or faults but every thing seems to be fine, the only peice that's heating up is a 6 pins IC labelled 017tL
, i think that it is the battery charge IC, However i couldn't find it on the interent.
This is the circuit and the red line points to the 017tL
IC:
I couldn't find any schematics for this device and the 017tL
component is not available on Amazon or Ebay, Is there an equivalent replacement part that i can buy?

That chip looks to be a Seaward Electronics SE9017-LF. "Standalone Linear Lithium Battery Charger". You can download the datasheet from this page.
I found this by googling "017tl ic". Somehow Google made the link between that part marking and the actual IC part number; I didn't see the "017tl" marking anywhere on the datasheet.
I cannot find this IC from any of my standard distributors in the USA. It looks like Alibaba has it in high quantity :) Hopefully you can find someone that will sell in smaller batches.
