That lines up with it being right next to the MCU. I greatly appreciate the assistance! I’ll get this into my notes in case it comes in handy.

Greatly appreciate the help! I will add that to my documentation list. I think i’ll give dumping the ROM a shot if nothing else winds up working.

So I think the answer was found by a couple of the others, but I will still follow through with other photos.

Here’s a (if only slightly) clearer image of the IC code

And here is a zoomed-out shot of the entire board. You can see the tiny IC in question to the left of the MCU with the ‘56/1.10’ sticker on it.

I will grab a better photo when I get home in 12-ish hours.

The code is 4A081 8444QC as far as I can tell. I didn’t get any matches for an 8-pin IC of that code unfortunately.
