Help Circuit board repair, In need of part

Hello, I'm looking for a little information on what this part is called on the board and where I can buy a new or used one to solder back on the board. Any info will help!! It looks like it's used in the circuit that runs games in slot 1 if that help any.

Am pretty sure it's an oscillator for the cart slot. Could also be a coil. I've likely got a donor board so could find exactly what it is.. what console is is a 3ds? - Also the part doesnt look damaged so you should be able to just put it back on

given its 4 pads its almost certainly an oscillator, normally they have like a 30mhz or so clock for cart reading (or at least they do on the switch) si you could pop it back on and probe it with a oscilloscope to see what clock its outputting.

That's the top side of the part. The bottom side doesn't have any pads left on it and if you look closely on the board it appears some of the part is still stuck to the board. It's a nintendo DS Lite

Let me dig out a lite board. Ive got a 3ds, 2ds and a dsi board here and yea its not them :cry:

Actually looking at it... its an EM filter most likely. Got an image without the drawing on it? Will be able to clarify with a pic of the board without the scribbles but google:

EM10 Filter NDSL - You should see your part
