Missing Component

[doread]

Hello, I am currently fixing a laptop that was bashed against a wall repeatedly. I fairly sure I have the laptop working now, but I noticed it was missing a component.
The missing component is is near the HDMI port. There are 3 still there. I have yet to actually test the HDMI port. Anyone know what this is or how I can find a replacement?

I have a fairly good junk pile I can salvage from.

Thank you

Laptop info;
Toshiba Satellite L870
Model: PSKFLC-00N007

Pictures are on google drive, main one ends in -c

Re: Missing Component

Update;
HDMI port did not work. I pulled a component from another older toshiba laptop and it is working now. (same place, in front of HDMI port)

My best guess is that it is a SMD Inductor since I can see copper wire. The component I replaced it with does look a little different.

Should it be OK? I am giving it to a relative, so I can service it later down the road if something happens.

Thank you!

Re: Missing Component

well inductures are read on Henrys , and usually its good to use the correct values , but if you can order the right part , order it , if don't well warn your client about risks and leave him choose the option

Sorry, I can't seem to post attachments. What are the risks of using the wrong values?

edit; managed to get 2 attachments uploaded.

I will put the laptop together and stress test it today. See if it keeps working after hours of HDMI use. I will also use my spare TV to be safe.

Re: Missing Component

yes indeed make some test , dont forget that inductor , induce corrent . so chek also if the component itself get to much hot . and stress well the port .

Re: Missing Component

I tested the port and no issues, it worked great for hours. My new issue is that the second/top ram slot doesn't seem to work.

I thought it was working before I started the work. I will take it apart again later and see if there is anything obvious.

Thanks for your help

Re: Missing Component

chek with one ram stick , try in both sockets and see if both work , could be bad ram , or maybe bad mem controler

Re: Missing Component

I tried all combinations, only the bottom dimm works. I put a 8GB stick in the working slot and it has been working so far.

Assuming it continues working, I am not going to bother trying to fix it.

Thank you for your help.
