I just replaced a cracked screen on this device, and it seems the replacement screen has blown out a component that I initially thought was a fuse. I say initially, because I came across this post which seems to be the same component I am dealing with: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showth...=GA401IV-BR9N6
And also this post on another site: https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthrea...ark-fried-chip!
TLDR; A user on that thread posted this for his Asus N550JV "Looks like in my case it's an SMD ferrite inductor (3A/120 Ohm/190 Henry/100 Hz/0603 series"
I say the replacement screen was responsible for this because when I reconnected the original screen and bridged this component (thinking it's a fuse) the backlighting came on for the cracked screen. When I repeated this with the replacement screen, I got sparks which further damaged the component.
Here are pictures of the component. Sorry for bad quality pics of screen, I didn't have an SD card in the usb camera at the time, and now the component has fallen off.
Another question... worse case scenario, since bridging this like a fuse brought back functionality... with a proper screen, would it possible to just bridge the pads with a wire?
