Sabretooth 5A chips

Can anyone tell me what the surface mount ships are on the underside of a Sabretooth 5A speed controller are? I need at least one, mine are all smudged so unreadable.
Thanks

I have a dead 2x12 Sabertooth, is the chips turn out to be the same you're welcome to it for spares.
It's dead for an unknown reason.....

one is blown due to a short caused by me. one channel runs fine the other is half speed in one direction.

same here.
i checked on a 10a sabertooth, the chips are no good.

Are you talking about the mosfets? Are there 8 identical chips on the underside to the one you are having issue with?

I had a new one delivered on Saturday but its still in the box, no time to look yet due to the Memorabilia weekend (Photon went up in smoke in the last fight on Saturday so all my time went into repairing that). Hopefully the new Sabretooth has readable chips but I`ll get some pictures taken anyway.
