never mind. I guess this will teach me not to reply to part of a post and not read the rest and then ask a question I would have found the answer to had I read more.

Then inductor looks to be a surface mount job. Something that might have happened to cause it to fall off, is that I believe all SMT chips are made to take 90 seconds worth of soldering temperature. they presolder the components, place them on the boards and then run the boards through an easy-bake oven like device where the parts wet onto the board. If the inductor somehow didn't get presoldered or didn't get enough solder that might be why it fell off.
