    What's this?

    This is on a Viewsonic VX2235WM. The circuit board is attached to the LCD screen at the top. I'm trying to ID what it is, and what it does.

    Any direction as to where I can get one would also be GREATLY appreciated!

    Thanks!

    L = inductor. You can likely get it from digikey.com, mouser.com.

    I don't know enough about inductors to know exactly what you need though. Perhaps someone else can recommend the exact part number?

      As retiredcaps said, it's an inductor. It's part of the power supply (a boost regulator). They are a very low failure rate item, why do you believe you need a new one?

      For a number of reasons, both health and personal, I will no longer be active on this board. Any PMs asking for assistance will be ignored.

      Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

        You can ohm that (with a multimeter) to make sure it is not open circuit.

        Otherwise, it is raely a problem (at least from your picture it does not seem to have anything unusual about it).

            Corsair CX750M [Model 75-002019] - burned output toroid inductor
            by momaka
            Looks like I may need a little help from the PSU experts (or anyone really! ) I have a Corsair CX750M (Model 75-002019) that I picked up for free about 4 years ago. This is the PSU:



            So here’s what’s strange about this one: it appears to work normally (normal output voltages) and any PC is stable with it. However, after a while (typically 10-20 minutes, but time can vary depending on the load), there is a sweetish smell of burned magnet wire insulation emanating from the PSU. Upon opening the PSU after this happened (many times), I was able to confirm...

            Lenovo S145 -15iwl vcore inductor warm.. looking with oscilloscope there is a spike.
            by Bartoloni
            Hi, i have a Lenovo S145 that after 20 seconds shutdown and restart (it's working correctly on thse 20 seconds)
            everything seems ok, but on Vcore inductor ( this is an i3 with just 1 switching power supply for CPU)

            there is an output to teh CPU with a spike.. seems that inductor can't handle the input...
            replaced the capacitor (330) and the inductor (R15) without any change
            any idea? very thank you!

            input of the inductor seems as usual... only strange thing is that the upper/lower voltages seems to be 21V (main power line is 19.3) ... but not sure this...

            How to read inductor specs?
            by badcap111
            I have a broken samsung galaxy s10 with missing inductor. I want to replace the missing inductor and I have found some vendors. But I don't understand how to read the specifications of the inductor. The specs are:

            INDUCTOR-SMD;470NH,20%,2520,T0.8,0.029OH

            I understand that the inductor is 470 nH with 20% margin, and the size is 2520 or 1008 (imperial measure), but what do T0.8,0.0290OH mean? I can't find any explanation on the web.

            Blown Inductor on WD My Passport
            by silver60618
            Hi Guys, my WD My Passport drive powers on, then powers off. Ive taken out the motherboard and identified a blown Inductor. Im trying to recover my data only

            Reading between leads show nothing. If I removed this Inductor, what would be a suitable replacement? am I correct that its a ferrite Inductor is to just filter noise?
            Ive seen people just bridge them, any harm in replacing it with a differnt value Inductor?

            Lastly am I correct in thinking there is no polarity on the smd component?

            Thanks!...

            Looking for help with a Viewsonic VP230mb where the backlight comes on only momentarily
            by lostone
            Hello, I came here after finding some similar questions asked on other monitors and hope someone here can help me get an ancient Viewsonic VP230mp (23" 4:3 LCD) back to working condition.

            First a little background, I have a background in computer and electrical engineering, and I'm smart enough to know I know nothing about LCD displays and how they work. For this topic I'm as green as they come.
            When the display is turned on the viewsonic logo displays in the uppper left for 2 seconds then the screen goes black, the power LED is green (on) and when a computer is connected...
