ask a repair shop. Since the label is the same on the other things around it, they could use a parts tester to determine what it is and then order that part. If you’re in luck, that’s the whole problem. If it’s some other component that failed they could still probably determine and fix it
I don’t know how well your box performed, but I recently snagged a fujitsu esprimo box with an i5-6500. It has 5 sata connectors and two m.2 slots. There’s space for two hard drives and there’s like 5 low profile PCIE slots (2x x16 and 2x x4 I believe)
