Yes, thats all I did, like I said before, I removed the choke before knowing whether the usb port worked or not as the device was not working at that point and so was unable to see if it worked or not, so it may not have been necessary to remove it but it was melted.
Not knowing the history of the device makes it hard knowing the cause assuming it was 'blown'.
I was able to get the device working by other remedial works, but this was PS board related.
The usb port does now work as well as the device itself, so I'm happy!
Looking back perhaps my wording, 'troubleshooting a faulty board' was a little mis-leading, it was not the board itself but a media player I was troubleshooting and on inspection on the boards I found the suspect choke in my travels.
