MSI GL66 11UEK, eDP LCD cable short damage

[brock-s]

Working on an MSI GL66 11UEK. After re-assembly, I went back to double-check a couple things and forgot to unplug the battery. Managed to move the eDP video cable connector in such a way that the smoke was let out of a nearby component.

Currently, the laptop boots to external monitor. No video on built in LCD. I've attached another eDP LCD as a test (lower resolution), but no display.

Battery no longer powers laptop either.

Pins 3 and 8 on the harness looked potentially overheated / damaged.

Can anyone identify what the burnt component might have been? (see attached pic).

Thank you for your time!

Just a quick follow-up for anyone who should come along in the future with this problem.

I had access to another of these laptops. The component appears to be a jumper (measured ~0 ohms with ohm meter, and doesn't have the appearance of the current sense resistors I've seen in other laptops). As a test, I jumpered it with a piece of copper wire 0.3mm diameter (28 or 29 gauge) and the laptop came back to life! (I don't think the part is a fuse, but if someone has more info, I'd be very grateful to hear it). Attached are pics of the good board.
