Need to replace this inductor

Okay, so I ordered a couple of broken Xbox One controllers on ebay for a pretty good price. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the first one. It just had sticky buttons. The other one however would not power on. Well, upon further inspection, I realized it was getting extremely hot right next to the d-pad. I figured there was a short in there somewhere and proceeded to take it apart. Once I got in there, I found out it was this 4r7 (Inductor?). It was extremely hot. You couldn't even touch it without burning yourself. So, I desoldered it. Now, I am wondering if someone can help me to find another suitable replacement for it? Also, is it even worth messing with? With that thing going out, would it have possibly fried something else? I noticed every now and then, the power light on the controller would BARELY light up. So I think it may possibly still be good if I replaced this part. Can I just jump this thing? Doub it, but I figured I would ask before I messed things up even more. Some of the inductors have a letter after the 4r7. Example: 4r7k or 4r7j. What is the difference? Would any of these be compatible? Trying to learn something here. Thanks for any help! Anyways, here is pics of what i'm referring to:

There was 2 of the 4r7 inductors on there. I desoldered one on the right. Can't seem to find one that looks exactly like the one I removed. However, the one still there is the exact same thing. This is the part in question:

4R7 is likely to be a resistor. Once you have taken it off the board, measure the resistance with a multimeter.

Of course you can replace it. But the real disease is elsewhere. Why the resistor is getting so hot...

It is certainly worth messing with it- just for fun. It can certainly be educative.

Your picture is not seen.

Definitely an inductor but as the other user said the problem lies elsewhere. The inductor is only getting hot because of the amount of current passing through it.



Here's his image gallery

Well most of the time we use inductors in DC/DC convertors. A high current is switched ON and OFF through it (you can see on internet how a buck converter works for example). If your Inductor is hot, it may be your converter who is stuck or it may be because you have a short-circuit on the load so a high current goes through through the DC converter and then to the short-circuit.
If the light is off, it doesn't mean that it's not working anymore, it might mean that it has not enough power, which is normal because of a short-circuit or because the DC converter doesn't work.
Ther hot inductor doesn't mean that it's broken, some of them are designed for high current.

I think that there is a short-circuit somewhere on the load. You have to check with a multimeter where it can be.
