    So, long story short I have a very sick Acer Aspire 5672 in my possession. Attached is an image of what is wrong. What I would like is for someone to tell me what ICs I need to pick up to replace the asploded ones.

    If someone could crack theirs own, and obtain the identification information on the tops of these that would be amazing! Obviously, I can't because two (Blue and White) and of the tops are irreparably damaged, and the third (Red) is mildly obscured making the identification information ambiguous. I could probably work on the red one for longer and get it, so the real priorities are the blue and white ones.

    Note on picture: It is from pre-exploding, but I assure you, they have definitely seen better days.

    This is very much appreciated!

    Ok, so I was able to read them after donning a pair of extremely high strength glasses and grabbing my flashlight. They are:

    Red: 4704 (BD553B)
    Blue: 4422 (???)
    White: 4422 (???)

    The value in brackets is, I assume, a serial number of some sort. I presume the four-digit value is a part-number of some sort. They are all produced by the same company. Only the company logo is printed on the chips, and it looks familiar but I can't put a name to it. It doesn't appear on any larger chips (Unlike Infineon which appears several times with its full name printed on the chip). The logo looks like this:
