I broke a SMD component off my mcpx v2 main board. I was removing the white silicone off the tail motor plug and off it came. My best guess is a polarized Cap, but anyways can you replace the component with a new or spare one? I have the one i broke off but i think its damaged.

Points to note:

It is the same as the component under the main motor plug. I have it marked it one of the pictures.

I dont know what the SMD component is or if i could do the job well enough. I am asking does anyone have the skills and can find a replacement part for it. hardest part seem to be finding what that SMD component is?

Mega Stumbler could repair it if it had bullet holes in it. Those Air Force avionics techs are gooooood!

no doubt. I sent him one that was possessed by demons and now I call him the exorcist. It literally attacked me.

Superjet fixed mine. Did a great job. I messed my board up pretty bad too. I'm sure there are alot of good repair guys on here, I just know Superjet does hundreds of mCPX boards a year and he doesnt charge much. Hit him up.

Talked to Superjet and Mega Stumbler seems to be a diode. trying to see what Horizon Hobby wants to do about as well. thanks everyone for your input and advice..

Horizon Hobby is not willing to give any information.
The original seems to be a simple silicon type, but I would recommend a schottky type instead.
My suggestion is PMEG2010AEB. (Digikey Link)
My Hint: If someone notices a rough startup of one or both Motors, then check this diodes. Caution: They should be checked not only with low current, but also with high current (>100mA).

PM Dylan @ astroid, he may know the part # at digikey

I'm not Dyland but, as the SMD Marking is "E1" it isn't that hard to find out which original part is used: 1n4148wt.
I often found dead diodes on boards, where FET's were burned. In my eyes the 1N4148 is cheap but not the best choice (Digikey link).
