Just looked in my own 4801. I see the same unlabelled component... It seems
not to have a polarity and there are more lookalikes on the board. That
suggests a resistor or capacitor. No diode or electrolitic cap. Would be
nice if it was just a protection for what happened to you. A fuse or a 0 ohm
resistor. I'm affraid only Soeren and his team can tell what it is.
