Electronic – Help me identify a component on a PCB
identificationpcbsurface-mount
What's the white component? The one besides the green resistor.
It has 5 pins, the pictures are below.
Here is the circuit.

Due to small slit on top for a screw driver and wires on the sides, I would guess a variable inductor. (Like a potentiometer, but for inductance instead of resistance).
Those are inductors. The value on it is the maximum voltage the shrink wrap tubing around the inductor can itself handle, i.e. that value has nothing to do with the inductor.
The part, once you find out from the manufacturer what value you should be using, shouldn't cost more than a couple of dollars at worst so I'd consider contacting them and then repairing it yourself.
There is another SMPS , U20 which is likely for 3.3V USB and other logic chips.
Since this SMPS is located near the speaker port, I am having second thoughts about the function of this regulator. By tracing the output, you may find it is used as a boost regulator like +12V used for Speaker port amplifier (not visible) and the MOTOV1 port. Shorting either of those outputs may have contributed to the problem of fusing the regulator. Although they tend to have UVP, OVP, OTP features that only works if the sense input is not damaged. So handle with care and use a very low current limited lab supply in your experiments and gradually raise the current limit to 50mA with a preset voltage.
