@harddrivespecialist: He lost the component, he cant find it :D

@sterfry99: You can do two things: Get a defective (or good) pcb and take the component off and solder it onto you pcb, or take the component of a good pcb, measure its value, and order a new one at your local electronics shop

Best regards,
