Identify missing MB resistor on early 2011 MacBook Pro

I got this macbook pro for free, It was working fine before one of the display resistors blew up on me, and I have no idea how to identify what type of resistor it is. I provided a photo of the missing resistor.

Any help would be appreciated, I spent a decent amount of money fixing this thing up and it would be a pretty big loss if i couldn't fix it lol.

You could harvest this part from many Mac donor boards. Good luck :-)

This is not a resistor, it's an inductor. Looks the same but different part it's a ferrite component, Contact the guys at Digikey with the specs I gave you. This component is on the 3.3v lane that gives voltage to pins 2-3-4 of the screen connector (PP3V3_LCDVDD_SW_F).
