    Help identify IC on MSI laptop

    Hi guys,

    Need help identifying this SMD IC on an MSI laptop.
    The only marking which makes sense is 3518. But there's nothing on the internet about it.
    It's located right next to the USB ports.
    Can anyone help me out ?

        Thanks for the replies. But the white marking around it suggests it's not QFN, more like a 12pin IC (6pins on top, and 6 pins on the bottom). Where the white Notch on the left indicates Pin 1 is on that side.

        I'll try remove the IC when I get a chance. Probably Tuesday due to Easter Weekend & Bank Holiday Monday.

          Also, sw3518 has more pins than what's on the board.

            First row of the IC is barely readable. Please write the marking code out in Full.

            Other than i am curious too what turns out when you finally remove that IC.

                Agree with this one. Good find. Just want to add to pay attention get the 01 variant (Auto-Restart)
