By any chance, would someone have a Samsung Galaxy Tab E motherboard laying around, and could help me identify an SMD component (red arrow in photos), or lead me in the right direction to find what it is?
It is missing in action because it sprung from my tweezers in the kitchen!
Embarrassing Background Story
My wife's Samsung Galaxy Tab E stopped charging and holding it in my hands while it was plugged in to charge, I felt a hot spot on the screen up near the camera. I pulled the cover off and discovered a chip near the charging port was burning hot to the touch (red square in photos).
Being the eager beaver I am, I tried to to replace it myself with my new hot air gun. It was my first time working on SMD stuff. My inexperience with SMD showed itself immediately. Instead of putting the tweezers on the chip first and then heating it with the gun, I did it the opposite way... heated first and then tried to lift it off with the tweezer in my unsteady hand. LOL. I bumped the other components of their pads. 1st lesson learned.
This one component is now missing because I picked it up with the tweezers and the spring tension in the tweezers launched it. Gone! 2nd lesson learned.
I have the replacement chip, solder paste, solder wick, etc. to do the job. Just need to know what that component is. I'm not sure if it is a capacitor or a resistor. It's not light tan color like the capacitor beside it, and it doesn't look as dark as the resistors nearby.
I desperately want to fix her tablet because she has a lot of files and photos on it which she needs and she didn't think to make a back up of.
I thought I'd ask here first before I buy another motherboard to take parts from.
Thanks in advance.
