My dad's recliner chair isn't working as the PS is dead. I took it apart and pulled this piece which is reading open.
I've never seen one before and wondering what it is/if it is the reason the PS failed. I was getting open readings on traces and thought maybe it was the electro caps next to it - I removed them and measured them, they're fine.

its an inductor, dont know much about them but i think they resist changes in current or something like that
Yeah, it's an inductor. It's probably in there for power supply filtering. An inductor should be a short at DC.
Yep, inductor. 14 micro-Henries.
You can use them in filters. You know, like a wah. ;D
