Hello,
After multiple attempts to go about getting this fixed through the "proper" channel, I have decided to move forward on my own. I believe the component circled in my picture is the source of problems for me. My question is - what is it called, and how might I identify the part so that I can find a new one? I am not completely clueless on electronics and have replaced many bad capacitors, etc... but have no formal education in the matter. Any help is greatly appreciated.
