Can someone help me identify these parts?

on the other hand, it would be really worth testing if MCU survived. other parts can be replaced but toasted MCU would make this repair a dead end.
so, grab a scope or logic probe and check all IOs of the MCU for signs of life and - do not cause a short.

"Like most people asking for help, Eddy is not direct and instead of painting big picture would have us have us look for a needle in a haystack,. "
This is not what i do for a living and know nothing about this stuff that's why I and others are here, I have no idea what-so ever what you need to identify these parts, I see a number and figure that all you need, and I'm sure that's all other people figure you need also. It has nothing to do with us being not being direct, it's that we don't know what you need.

sorry if my replies are blunt, i am an engineer and have no filter (maybe i do but it is bad). i mean no harm, just trying to help.

picture of some random part with proprietary OEM marking means nothing and it is nearly impossible to trace.
but saying what it is from, what the surrounding circuit is, what nearly terminals are, their polarity, voltage etc. can dramatically narrow down possible choices or lead to possible efforts by others to reverse engineer or repair same product.

reality is that there are millions of parts out there. some are well documented but many are not. they are proprietary, manufacturer deliberately applies custom OEM part number, for which public cannot find datasheet or any info whatsoever.
btw. there are also scrupulous people taking advantage of others by selling fake parts. lasers are not exactly exotics these days, one can get laser engraver for peanuts. so anyone can use it to remove old marking and apply fake one.
so buying those replacement parts may just prolong the agony and increase expenses.

so when someone attempts to tinker with proprietary device like tool or appliance controller or vehicle
ecu, it is almost always proprietary OEM marking on the parts - if any.

then the user thinking of repairing device is sharing the obvious but usually useless detail like some cryptic part number. i call it giving tunnel vision to those that try to help. it is no different than XP problem.
it is hardly different than being TV host trying to help police identify drowning victim by sharing following image:
1783285787770.png

in other words, it would be much better to start with something that can narrow down the search. an example would be:
"LG dishwasher model XWZ, controller board failed, suspect part if <photo>. here is also photo of front and back of the PCB".

and the above image that so far is non-descript would not be so bad if one was to offer additional info, such as age, gender, height, build, hair type length and color, skin color, any tattoos, piercings etc.
and if this does not clarify it, i do not not know how to explain it better. but it happens all the time that forum members ask for help with nothing to go on. one was asking for info on PCB that was "tracking controller" that literally went through shredder.

as said, that is a small board with just one MCU (microcontroller unit), which has to be programmed. simply replacing that chip with the new one is not going to help - it will need program to run.
so unless you have access to either source code or compiled binary file for that MCU, this is a deadweight. but, if the MCU survived, there is some hope - peripherals can be replaced by comparable / compatible parts (does not have to be exact, as long as they can perform same function).

so the big question is, if the MCU still alive. if it is, those NPN transistors etc can be matched to some drop in substitutes.

I have 2 of these I already repaired so even if this one doesn't work I want the spare parts in case I fry one of them again

I think the lesson here is try not to fry them in the first place :D

Might be a good idea to review exactly what went wrong and maybe we can suggest ways to mitigate that in the future.
