Tips on finding schematics and chip identification? (reddthat.com)

I have a few devices that I can get into but haven't been able to find out which chip does what. Any tips?

I found that chatgpt is really good at telling you what is a component by just telling it the part name, it can be a bit quicker than looking for the datasheet

Google whatever is printed on the chip.

Also learn the basic components of any system, and which components each device would need.
