Hi everyone,
I'm repairing a Gigabyte B850 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 ICE motherboard that was sold as defective.


The board has two physically damaged SMD components located next to the Richtek RT3678BE CPU VRM controller.


One component is:
Brown ceramic SMD (appears to be an MLCC capacitor)
The second component is:
Black SMD with a white stripe on top
White ceramic underside visible because it is cracked
This component is also physically broken
I've attached microscope photos of both damaged components.
