Hello!
It appears I've damaged an RPi 5 while attempting to remove the clip on active coolers (I installed it on the wrong unit and had to move it). I didn't notice doing it at the time. Attempting to power up this board at a later date, I get no video of any kind (with or without SD/media attached to it). Powering it with an appropriate USB C supply, I get an initial red LED, which then transitions to green for ~2/3 seconds, then back to red indefinitely. Checking the power rails on the GPIO pins, I see I have 5V, but no 3.3V. I did some investigation with a small magnifier on my bench, and the only thing I've discovered that seems off at all is the following apparently missing SMD component:

Are there schematics friggin' anywhere for this board? Does anyone know what this component would be, or how I could possibly repair this board? I have an alternate Pi5 that functions fine, and attempting to 'guess' with a pair of smart tweezer seems to indicate a 10k resistor, but I don't put much faith in it.
Thanks.
