I was applying heatsinks on my RAM and CPU when i noticed a brown something under the "GPIO" text under the GPIO headers. Since, i was using it after a long time i believed it was some sort of dirt. I tried to flick it off the board and as soon as I did that I noticed solder metal under the brown thing. I am worried whether it will still work or not as I was in the middle of booting Ubuntu. Moreover, I'd like to if i could get it fixed and if the IC/resistor/capacitor is available in the market. I did some research and have a hunch that it is an ESD protection, let me know if you have the exact component number. Thank you.
