Default Burned SMD component on input

Hi,

I got laptop for repair where his owner tried to fix broken cable on the output of PSU. He connected the PSU to laptop, after flash computer did no longer work. Anyway, I got the laptop with some burned component on input, right on voltage/ground after the connector.

From its size I would say inductor, but it is totaly burned, no mark there. IMHO it is too small to be a fuse or diode. What do you think it may be and what should I replace it with?

ADD// seems to be a capacitor, will change it for some. Is there some way how to find maximum voltage of a ceramic SMD cap? I have some unsoldered, but…do not wish to have it burned due to overvoltage again.

It is Asus F5R-AP002. I have already identified it as a capacitor (traced again and this time found it is between voltage and ground). Totally burned, shorted.

But I have to buy new one, I am afraid the unknown I have will burn again since there is as high as over 19 V there. I only hope they will have X5R or X7R in 25 V and some usabel capacity. Do not want Y5V it is piece of crap with +22/-86 % tolerance

I can't find schematic of that model so post clear pictures of the area and we might be able to find similar circuits in other models for replacement consultation.

You can measure the size, more likely to be 10~22uF 25V MLCC.
