Need Help Finding a Specific IC Chip for Asus Zephyrus S17 GX703HS Motherboard Soldering Newbie Requesting Direction | Help

Hello everyone,

I'm in a bit of a bind and could use some expert advice. I'm looking for a specific IC chip for an Asus Zephyrus S17 GX703HS laptop motherboard, but I've hit a roadblock. The chip is labeled "285A TI 188 AFF0," but I haven't been able to find any information about it online, nor can I locate a PCB schematic to seek an alternative.

I've tried searching through usual databases and electronic part suppliers but to no avail. Does anyone here have experience with this or a similar issue, or could point me in the right direction to find either this specific chip or a compatible alternative?

Any help or suggestions on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
