1 Help identify this component. From Dell Venue Pro 8
My screen broke on the Dell Venue Pro 8. Upon opening it this blue component had broken off the right side of the top of the PCB. (see picture)
I think this was broken off while I was taking the screen off so just a word of caution to anyone else opening one of these.
the board has
bellaire mainboard PCB rev 2.1 printed on it but I cannot find anything about it of use.
My guess might be that a 1 axis gyroscopic sensor of some sort as there are 2 of them orientated at right angles between one another.
Any thoughts?
Update (05/08/2016)
I can almost certainly confirm this component does not have to do with the orientation as I am still able to boot and it does rotate as expected.
Still I would like to find out where I can purchase this to re solder onto the board as this one has had it's solder points broken off when it snapped off the board.
Is this a good question?

On the one that broke off is there and metal bits that you can see from the outside? (It may just be a spacer)

ETHREAL1 thanks for your comment. I do not see any metal on the broken piece except for where it was soldered to the board. hopefully you are right and it is just a spacer but you would think they could use a piece of foam or rubber for that.
