Question to X250 Motherboard

[Tasurinchi]

Hey gals and guys...

I got a defective X250 which shows no image on the display, when removing the bottom cover the first thing I noticed was this chip, its cover is glued to the black tape:



Does anybody knows what's the function of the chip? Is it bad it it stay "open"? Should I be worried or should I just tape it?

Thanks a lot in advance for your help and have a good start of the weekend!

That's a pulse transformer, probably the NA69.
It's a bunch of chokes to regulate the data lines of the LAN port nearby.
It's recommended to keep it closed.

Thanks RBS for the prompt answer!

But does it look alright? Like, not busted? I was thinking of kapton tape it...
