Can anybody identify the chip in this section of the board? My RPi won't boot and this chip is scorching hot (over 80° according to a temp probe). I'm guessing this chip is busted. I've replaced SMDs on Macbooks before so hoping to find a replacement chip and make a similar repair here.

I found this photo online that seems to have a part number printed but the resolution isn't high enough. On my board the chip is polished with no markings.

power supply?

These are inductors (part of power supply).

The fault is elsewhere (probably PMIC) although they may be part the regulated CPU supply.

Blowing up PMIC seems to be a popular pastime for Pi users.
