@matfrags that is a 3.9µH inductor. available at digikey.com or mouser.com as well as many others. The cost of the part will be no more than a few $ and will be easily replaceable for anyone with some soldering experience.

I prefer to repair things instead of replacing. After all, we are trying to reduce ewaste by repairing not replacing

Do you have experience with microsoldering? If not, you may have just earned yourself a new motherboard. Replacing that part requires microsoldering which is obviously not for beginners by any means. You may be better off getting a new motherboard with a paired optical drive.

You will need to transfer the heatsink and re-apply thermal paste.

I personally don't but my father does and he said he can do it as long as I can find the part

And I don't really think spending 170 dollars on a PS3 mobo would be worth it
