    Hi all,
    Coke spilled on the notebook caused the hard disk and the audio chip to burn. :(
    Replaced the disk the notebook now works but no audio. Problem is, I can't read the name of the burned chip. Does anyone knows? Below the picture. Exact notebook model is 5553G N934G64Mn.



    Thank you.

    Unless it hit the chip itself, there is a good chance it was a surrounding complonent that burned out that then caused the chip itself to die.

    So even if you replace it, the replacement may burn up instantly.
