LCD inverter + logic board component burnt out
Hello,
I recently had a problem with a MacBook Pro 1.83GHz. The screen stopped working but the rest of the laptop and external screen worked ok.
I replaced the LCD inverter to no avail.
Upon further investigation I see that a component is burnt out on the logic board. Please see the following photo.

I am wondering if this can be fixed by replacing the logic board component?
Does anyone know what this component is please?
The number underneath the component is L9450.
The cost of a new/pulled logic board is prohibitive and if it is possible I would like to repair this one.
I am very disapponted at spending so much on a laptop and in less than three years it is apparently worthless and has caused me great inconvenience. I wonder what the benefit is of spending so much money on a MacBook Pro is compared to a cheap laptop PC.
Your help in identifying the damaged part and finding a replacement is much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Mark
