What is the name of the component inside of power supply next to coil?
Looks like a light bulb in the fat version and a diode/resister in the slim. V101 is the marking on the board. I tried Google but to no avail. I'm thinking it's a fuse. But there aren't any numbers on the component to compare.
Is this a good question?

Hi @epic60054,
Post an image of the component in your question, so that others can see what you're asking about.
Here's how on ifixit Adding images to an existing question
V can sometimes mean a varister i.e. MOV but it depends on what designation the maker has decided to use

@epic60054 Some context of where on the board exactly this came off of would help.The V101 looks more like a V1.01 version number on the board to me rather than a part identifier, but I also could be wrong. Can you post a picture that's a bit more zoomed out? Looking at some power supplies and not seeing this spot.
V is also an uncommon component abbreviation. And nothing it's springing to mind looks like this.

First is board I'm working on second is board out of fat ps3. The square is a coil assembly I removed to get the pic. Someone else broke the little glass component that looked like a light bulb.
