My laptop, a Razer model RZ09-0330, recently experienced a catastrophic failure. The repair shop diagnosed it to be a faulty chip and confirmed the issue through thermal imaging and voltage tests. Unfortunately, I've searched everywhere for this specific chip and haven't had any luck, and neither have the technicians. Since I spent £3,000 on this laptop, purchasing a replacement isn't an option for me. I'm reaching out to see if anyone knows where I can find this chip or if there's an alternative part available. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! (I have photos of the chip in the comments.)

Have you considered reaching out to Razer directly via email? They might be able to help you find the part or suggest an alternative. It’s worth a shot!
I found a listing for a replacement chip on eBay. Here's the link: [eBay Chip Listing](https://www.ebay.com/itm/335903843096?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=XrONp-15TVW&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=WluvZrseTfS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY). It might be worth checking out if it's compatible with your laptop! Good luck!
If that chip is proving impossible to find, you might look into sourcing a new motherboard. It could be a solid workaround if you can’t get the specific chip. Just make sure the motherboard is compatible with your laptop model!
From my research, the chip you need seems to resemble a SOT-23-5 A63A. Might be worth exploring that option!
