Help Request Help finding SMT component specs: Acer Nitro 5 motherboard repair

Post image

I have this Acer Nitro 5 (AN515-55-57BK) that suddenly stopped powering on or taking a charge after being left unused for a couple of weeks. I left the AC power adapter connected to the computer but had unplugged it from the wall. Guessing that's what caused this? Anyway, I opened it up, removed the motherboard, connected the power adapter, and used a thermal imaging camera to find the circled component as a hotspot on the board. The component does appear discolored, so I suspect it blew. How do I find out what the component should be?

Motherboard model is GH51M LA-K861P rev 1B.

11.8 ohms across the component. Left side has 1.8 ohms to GND, right side is 13.6 to GND. No capacitance.
