Thanks, thats a start
I'm guessing you spotted already but just incase, the component is actually connected to 3 pads - 2 at the bottom and 1 at the top.. but I presume you are referring to the bottom two pads being joined by the track on the board ? - (as you can probably tell, i'm not an expert at this sort of thing by any stretch of the imagination!
)
Is there anything I can test with a multimeter or such on the components that are left to help figure out what I can replace this item with ?
Many Thanks
