The 7805 in one of my regulated supplies has failed. I was just going
to order one of the cheapest ones off of eBay. Most likely, this would
be a Chinese clone. Might this be a problem down the road, or should I
order a better brand and what are your suggestions? Thanks.

a) A princely $0.65 from Digi-Key.
b) Might this be a problem down the road? Three possible answers in the most likely-to-occur order:
- Yes, but not right away. So you will be making the same repair multiple times.
- Yes, but in such a way as to cause additional cascade failures - so you are putting the device at-risk.
- No.
 
In fewer words: Don't be stupid.

As I remember, there was a recall on this device. Have you tried to contact Samsung?

Thanks for responding. it was a Youtube video that showed me
there was something different about my battery.
 
I wasn't aware of a product recall. I will check that out.
 
Thanks.

Good news for me: I contacted Samsung and they were very concerned
about the swollen battery. Apparently a smaller Samsung tablet
had similar problems which caused damage both to the unit and
surroundings.
 
They are sending me a box to return the unit for free repair.
