Asrock PE PRO-HT - help needed

Hello,
My friend got his MB toasted. I was able to identify, which part is
burnt, but i am unable to read the part number. I hope that there is
someone, who has such a mainboard and will be able to tell me, what part
am I looking for. I need to know the exact symbol to replace this element.

The mainboard image with the damaged element marked is here:

And here is the closer look:

Thanks in advance, I will appreciate any help :)

You are on the proverbial fool's mission. There is 100% probability
that there is other hidden damage to the board. Time to move on,
remembering what caused this board failure so as not to make the same
mistake twice.

I know. I don't like Asrock either. I would rather like to play with it
"in the name of science". And of course - You are probably right, there
is a very high chance that something more has been damaged. But since
the MB is being replaced tomorrow - I can play with it for a while
before trashing it :)

If you are getting an exact replacement for the board tomorrow,
copy the numbers off the top of the chip, on the new board. Then post
them tomorrow and we'll tell you what it is, if possible. If there
is a logo printed on the chip, that helps too -- either sketch
the logo or describe it.

The best picture of the motherboard is on the Asrock site, but it
isn't good enough to get a part number. I don't see a logo, and
only two rows of numbers/letters. One row has four characters,
and that is likely the date code (WWYY) like 0305.

That's the problem. Like I already said - Asrock isn't my favorite
brand, so I will replace it with Asus, Abit, Gigabyte or so. This is the
reason why I am looking for someone, who has this mobo.

I was able to read from the damaged chip the last digit - it's 8. The
one earlier could be 5 (so this could be LM358, but I am not sure about
that). I will wait a little more, maybe someone could confirm this.
