Hello!

I opened my laptop (Toshiba Satellite L850) because I was unable to get any HDMI signal out of it. This is a second hand laptop, and I didn't try to use the HDMI port before.

After insepection and dust removal, it looks like the port is correctly soldered and stays firmly in place. However, when I try to go a bit backwards, I noticed that one of the 4 differential pair had an inductor broken. It was holding on one leg only and I removed it. Here is a photo of my microscope view to show you the damage (attached, I could only attach a single photo).

There are 4 differential pairs near each other, and the damanged component is near the connectors, all leads me to think this is linked with the HDMI issue. I have little hope I can replace this, but I'd like to try as I don't think I may break the laptop any more (and if I do, I'll just buy another second hand one, USB3 to HDMI adapters are rather expensive).

Thus my question: does anyone one know the reference of this component? So I can order a stock of new ones and try to fix the MB.
Thaks in advance 🙂 (and sorry if there are mistakes, I'm not a native english-speaker)
