So I wasn't being careful today, and I managed to rip a surface mount component from a video card.
The component is in a rectangular package, maybe 1x2mm in size. One long side of the rectangle had 2 legs, the other long side of the rectangle had 3 legs. The only markings I can make out on the thing are "VE"
Does anybody know what this might be? I can't resolder the old one back on, as the legs are still attached to the card, but not the component. It's a cheap video card, so there's no pressing need for me to hold onto it, but if it's a part I can get for 50 cents or something, no point in throwing it out either.
I tried taking a photo, but it is too small to make anything out - it just looks like a small black rectangle.
Any advice appreciated!
