[SOLVED] ASUS K401U motherboard with a burnt component

[genesjr]

Hi guys, as stated in the title, I own a ASUS K401U laptop. Recently, while opening it up to clean the fans and tighten the lid hinges, my fat fingers dropped the screw onto the motherboard and created a spark... Upon inspection, I realised one of the component near 'J4601' was burnt and destroyed. I tried turning it on to a dark monitor and I immediately knew this was bad as it had happened to my LCD TV before - the screen backlight ain't working. The laptop works fine with an external monitor. Does anyone know how do I identify this part and where can I buy them?

P.S. I read a few posts in the forum and it could be a coil but I'm not really sure, please help out if anyone of you have knowledge of this. Thanks in advance! I am unable to share the photos through Dropbox thus sharing the link. (I will also unplug any power sources next round if I need to deal with any electronics components...)

Burnt component on Motherboard
I've had an issue with my laptop for the last few weeks. I own an Asus g550jk (extremely similar to the n550jv). It started with one of the hinges snapping off the top panel. After fixing it, I turned it on and for the first 5 minutes or so everything seemed alright. Then the screen started...

This is just a fuse - you are lucky. Just solder a wire over it.

While you can definitely bypass the fuse, I would recommend replacing it for safety reasons.

@ilian359 That's great to know, thanks for your response! I thought it would be good to get a replacement.

@NightHawkRMX Hi, would you know which specific fuse I can get to replace or how can I identify it since the fuse doesn't have any labelling on it?
