How to easily identify power integrated circuit on any laptop motherboard

[Udemzy]

Have search the forum but couldn't get anything related to the topic, that's why i had to open a new thread concerning it and hoping that I'll get an answer.

Recently, I started learning laptop chip level repair, I was told I need to know the numbers in other to identify them.

I was also told power ic can be found around inductors and huge capacitors on the laptop motherboard, it can be at the back or front and sometimes beside it.

I know some power ic start with TPS 51125,TPS 51120, I'll like to know other numbers written on laptop power ic or how i can easily identify them without stressing myself out.

Links to articles, videos and other resource will be appreciated.

Thanks.
