following this thread and testing components, I have 45-56 volts AC where i should have DC volts? Not sure what happened?

Thank you lotas! I have fixed the trace to continue the troubleshooting. I have flashing power LED, 1 and 4 on the bezel with no output. Appreciate your help on finding that component. How did you identify from the markings what it was? Or is that just experience? thanks again!...

I forgot the most important photo....

Hi, I am looking for help trying to source this part and understand why/how it failed? Motherboard was free and I visually identified this ASP0801 VLF85E chip has a leg that looks burnt off and I believe it vented the chip. I could only find one person selling a chip similar on ebay, but the "VLF85E" was different. I cannot locate a data sheet with pinouts anywhere?

Looking for help or guidance if this is even worth it? The motherboard powers on, fans and led's on, but will not post, no beep codes either? thank you

P.S. this forum has so much information it...
