It is a MOSFET -- the only way to be more definitive is to have a schematic for whatever Inspiron this is in. Try www.laptop-schematics.com to see if there's one available.
The damage to the board around and under the failed part looks extensive -- bear in mind that even if you identify it, simply replacing it likely won't fix the problem.
