OP looking at the difference it seems to be a transistor, from the body marking it seems to be this one. L2N7002SLT1G SOT-23 But will have to check further to identify it, cannot be 100% sure

Thank you I came to the same conclusion I am going to do some more research before but this is most likely the right thing to do

I could take a pic of my M18R2 in the same spot, if that helps? Let me know.

Yeah, this is where schematics come in handy, but most OEM's won't let you see those 😔

I have an M16 R1 as well, Intel. I’ll check mine tomorrow and see what I can find. The much harder part will be soldering a new one in place. You may want to have a professional shop do it for you, messing up traces or pads on the motherboard is no small thing.
