    Need help id'ing chip on a Dell g15 5515

    Hello all,
    I have this dell g15 Ryzen Edition 5515. Board GDL56 LA-K453p. It had liquid damage when i bought it. Cleaned it up really well and then used thermal camera to see what got hot.
    Found the power pdw1 and pdw2 under the graphics card were getting hot. Pdw2 was hottest, i had a similiar chip on another board so i put it on this board.
    The other chip is now hot as well, which it was to begin with.
    Thats the problem as i dont know what to call it, like is it a mosfat? or what?
    I will attach a picture of both the boardlabel and of the area with the chips. The first one, pdw1 is the original chip. the pwd2 is the scavenged chip.
    I would really appreciate what the name and company is so i can order new ones. thanks

    You can use search engines - search AL00 on aliexpress, search for schematic, you find that similar schematic is here available which you can use as reference:
    https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...tics-boardview

    it is AOZ5332 "drmos"

    First of all - why do you think that changing everything that is hot is the solution? What are the voltages on these coils, other coils? How does the mainboard react to power? etc

      Thank You for the help!
      I started by checking the first current sensor after the first and second mosfets. Showed a short on main power rail. I then checked all the other coils on the board.
      I had no supplied power other than my tester. The power coils for the GPU both showed as shorted. I then did a complete visual inspection of the board and found water damage.
      I cleaned the board with seltzer water after using 91% alcohol.
      Then i used a thermal camera with the power plugged in and the 2nd drmos was totally red, and the first was glowing in the middle as a smaller ball.
      I removed the second and when i supplied power and checked again the first was still glowing in the middle as before.
      I can salvage another chip to replace the first drmos to see if that fixes the board but i really needed the name of it.
      Thank You. Hope this shows what i did to your satisfaction.

        Guide to transplant MEC1503 EC chip and EEPROM reprogamming for T14s gen 2 and X13 gen 2
        by acedogblast
        This is a guide that I am writing for helping others to replace their MEC1503 EC chip if it breaks (or to get around an inconvenient prompt to the BIOS). This forum has been extremely helpful to me so I would like to contribute to help others. I will tell you right now that this task is very difficult to do. You MUST have experience and tools to do precision micro-soldering, BGA reballing, trace repair, and general laptop repair skills.

        There are some specialty tools needed to do this task. The replacement MEC1503 chips can be acquired from Aliexpress. Do not buy the bare chips as...
