Can you explain the concept of parasitic diodes? Yes i can google it but this list is so much more enlightening.
FYI i ordered a replacement in lots of 10. If anyone wants a free quad op-amp let me know (ill pay shipping)

Is that a LM324 equivalent? It's just a regular old quad op amp. Almost
any would probably work.
The data sheet for the 17324 shows a GBW product of about 500kHz.. yep
it's basically a LM324 except the Renesas part has worse performance.
If you've got some TL074 or TL084s around they would probably work. If
you put too high performance an amplifier in there, it might oscillate.
The HA17324a has parasitic diodes from the inputs to the positive
supply, but doesn't appear to have anything to clamp the inputs going
negative.
as the data sheet says: " If Input/Output terminals voltage over the
absolute maximum ratings, there is possibility of mis-operation,
characteristics deterioration and destruction, because
of the current’s flowing to parasitic diode in IC.
The Input/Output terminals are recommended to be protected with the
clamp circuit which using the diode with
low forward voltage (like schottky barrier diode) when
there is a possibility for the Input/Output terminals
voltage exceeds the absolute maximum ratings. "
