SMD blew apart after reassembly.

Block Image

After installing a replacement keyboard and reassembling the laptop it began booting normally but the display went to question mark and couple seconds later I heard a POP. Not good. Logic board is marked 820-2879-B. The popped component is located on the heat sink side of the board at the opposite end from the ports. The location is highlighted with a red circle. I need to know if it was a fuse, diode, inductor or cap and what it's value is because there's nothing left of it to ID. Found a bent pin at the camera connector, it maybe touched ground.

Gary, that is reference designator L3404 which is a 120ohm 1.5A inductor (coil) in a 0402 package.
