Hi, today I was about to to try out different Slot 1 fans when I attached one of them in a wrong way, which caused some gray smoke and now no fans are working... I took a look at the board and found the burnt part - it's the Q3M1 transistor right above the upper end of the Slot 1. Because of the burn, I can't read it's symbol anymore in order to replace it.
Could any of you SE440BX-2 owners out there please take a look at this particular transistor and post it's name or a good macro photo of it? Maybe this board can still be rescued 😀

I can pull my board and take a picture tonight when I get home if no one else comes up with it first.

That would be really great, either a nicely zoom photo or the symbols on the transistor (they seem to be very small horizontal and vertical letters and digits)

I just checked my board, and it's really hard to make out the markings. My phone camera was unable to get anything readable.

By looking very closely at it, it seems to be PC6. I can try a bit harder if no one else is able to provide more info.

Note: I edited my original post since I had been looking at Q3M2 the first time around.
