Playing with a dead HEQ5 motherboard to see if I can get it going again.

Can anyone out there identify what this is or I should say what it was 

It used to be totally encased in a plastic type cube about 5mm max in dimensions.

Surface mounted with four contacts.

Thanks

After a long haul through the web I have come to the conclusion it is a choke.

Still would like some conformation from some one in the know.

Thought you'd recognise it straight away Graham. That's the Mark 5 model 3.86b micro gravity fluctuator for use in a quantum entangled wormhole generator. It interfaces directly with Stellarium to allow you to point the scope to past or future celestial events. 

 

Might get one cheap in the Maplins closing down sale.

Nah its a Flux Capacitor.

 

Yep choke coil for smoothing things out leccy wise, have you tried RS Components to see if they have anything close Graham?

 

Its a bit beefy from the looks of it and a bit graunched up, what happened?

Ah just looked at the dimensions 5mm cube, not so beefy but the gauge of wire is still quite large.
