post an image from your board and try a little better focus. It is important that we see more of the traces since there maybe variants that would use a different cap. Remember the HAC-001 refers to the model of your Switch and not the motherboard. your motherboard could be something like a HAC-CPU-20

It says I have a HAC-CPU-10 and added another image, thanks.

Okay I'd stick with the original plan of a 10uH capacitor. Use a smaller iron and a better tip. Also use more flux and try to control the heat a bit better ;-) Use some desoldering braid and flux to clean the area for the inductor etc.

1tz_Lowkey  post a picture of what you are looking at. It is hard to follow verbal description. Adding images to an existing question

Since these are SMD components essentially you will need to either have the schematic with reference designators or a spare board to measure the values for this component

Okay so it is adjacent to the battery charging management IC. It lays between PGround and SYS of that IC. I would use a 10uH capacitor and see what it does. You need to see how it reacts when it charges your battery. bq24193

Of course you get a better answer if anybody has the schematic or can measure it on their motherboard.
