<title><![CDATA[HP ProBook 430 G8: Unknown SMD component, now melted on motherboard]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I am trying to identify a component on my HP Probook 430 G8 laptop Motherboard. I accidentally shorted the battery to this component.</p>

<p>Motherboard :</p>

<p>Model X8P</p>

<p>Year 2020</p>

<p>DA0X8PMB8F0 Rev: F</p>

<p>See photos of the component. I have lifted a trace when cleaning the area, but I believe it is fixable. I bought a 2nd laptop to try and help me get the first one working. I de-soldered what what looks to be the same component from the donor laptop.</p>

<p>The component is an 0603 from measuring 1.6mm between the solder tabs.</p>

<p>I used my DER EE DE-5000 LCR meter and get:</p>

<p>0.5 millihenry</p>

<p>0.010 milliohms</p>

<p>0.9 to 1.1 nanofarads</p>

<p>I am not sure what to order. It doesn't look like a capacitor, the resistance seems to low to be a resistor, and I can't find 0.5 millihenry inductors..... can you please help me order the correct part?</p>

<p>Broken laptop (Below)</p>
