Chosen Solution
Hey everybody, My wife decided it was a good idea to throw my MacBook Pro 13" Early 2015 A1502 ECM 2835 Mother Board on the ground (I’ve only had it for two weeks). I powered it ON and it works no problem. I shook the computer and I heard something rattling. When I opened it up, I noticed 15% of the “220” chip’s top shell corners chipped. However the “guts” of the actual chip is still intact. It’s just the top shell that’s damaged. My questions are: What is this chip for? and Should I replace the motherboard? I was thinking of super gluing the chipped pieces back on, but it’s pretty touch to get the chipped pieces back on just right. Like I said the Mac powers back ON and works fine, but it bothers me to know that this “chip” is chipped (pun not intended). Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. Update (04/25/2016)
@paulll that is a “fixed inductor” with values of 22UH 20% 2.4A 0.105OHM and it is a DEM8030C series. A Murata 1273AS-H-220M=P3 should be a match. Double check on here. It is part of your backlight circuitry. Since your computer still works, the damage to the inductor may (for now) only be cosmetic
