You'll have to take the complete pcb out to reach it. If it's not that, then no idea - it's a little square section thing, easiest way to fix is by soldering a suitable thickness fusewire across the body of it, unless you have access to RS or Farnell cataloguesm both of whom list it. Last time I looked, Maplins didn't.
