No 3,3Volts after mistake

Surely a nearby reprapper can help you out, or a makerspace or something?
If recycling is your only other option hit me up with a chat and we can have a look at postage rates, but unless you happen to be my neighbor I fear the Norwegian postal rates are anything but reasonable.
Best of luck!

The W5500 chip itself is a TQFP chip, it has legs, if you do not have the hot air equipment, you can simply use a knife to cut all the legs.
After that, you also want to use a soldering iron to remove the legs from the PCB one by one, you need to do this just in case the knife bent the legs into short circuits.
In the end, it's still a lot easier than hot air

thank you for your Idea. I removed the chip with a
scalpel and the Board is back on Track.Will the Board can used normaly when i replace the W5500?

Yes if you replace the W5500 then the Ethernet will probably work again, as long as you didn't cut through any traces when you removed the chip. You will need to remove the legs of the old IC if you haven't already, without lifting the PCB traces (caution: when heated, they lift very easily!). After that you can solder the new chip in place. Make sure you get it the right way round. You will probably get some solder bridges, which you can remove with solder wick.

Great news!
(Its a trick I will add to my bag of tricks for when I find myself without hot air or IR:)Its never easy to predict cascading failure but if the board works without the W5500 and the new regulator then I'd say you have good odds with replacing the W5500 and getting the board fully functional.

Great. I will try it. I have nothing to lose.
Now i must find a shop where i can buy the Chip for a private person. -
If you are in the EU, try http://shop.wiznet.eu/w5500.html. If you are in the US, Mouser and Digikey sell them.

Thanks for the link to the shop.I ordered one an will look if i can solder it.
A big Thank you to the Support from the Manufacturer and the Users of this Forum.
It is magnificent. -
I recieved the W5500 today and soldered in his Place.
It was a bit tricky but the Board and the Network are alive. -
I must say this thread was a fun read.... Congrats on fixing your board.
