Microprocessor identification help?

I just opened a Quark Mini AA^2 that was fried, and it looks like the microprocessor got killed. I'm able to read the numbers, but since I won't have internet access until tomorrow, other than via my phone, I'm asking you guys if you can help me find a replacement microprocessor for it.



Here's what I was able to make out:

1610P0/O

225J1/4 or 725J1/4





The / means either, or.



I would do research myself, but phones aren't conducive to browsing many websites, like Digi-Key, or Mouser.



In return, I will try to make a disassembly guide for it, if I'm able to get the right microprocessor.



Thanks,

Brian

I don't know if you ever figured it out, but the 1610PO (that's one-six-one-zero and the letters Papa and Oscar) is actually an AIC1610 high-efficiency step-up DC/DC converter -- it's not the microcontroller. The microcontroller is probably the SOT-23-6 package device on the board (I would guess it's a PIC10F series chip).
