Need help identifying components on motherboard

Hello! I have a PS5 board that suffered a lightning surge through the ethernet port. Pretty weird! I figured I might try replacing these components, but I have no idea what they are. This picture is from the underside of the ethernet port. Any help would be much appreciated!

Hello there, I’m sorry to hear that your console suffered a lightning strike. To me, it looks like the only part that has to actually be replaced is the little capacitor on the right, you can still see the rest of it there.

You can see this side of the motherboard on the PS5 teardown page at step 6, second picture. You might even find better close ups of the area around the ports in the internet.

Unfortunately, I don’t know the values for this capacitor. Also, on another note, those traces around the port look pretty burned. Have you tried checking if there’s still continuity between two corresponding points in the area?
