Can you identify this component (from micro servo)
So I took apart a micro servo for the board inside so I could use hobby-grade electronics with a xmod/miniz. I carefully observed the POT wires and matched them to the POT on the xmod. Then the same with the motor wires. During this process, a very small component fell off linked between two wires, and its contacts snapped. The servo motor would keep going in one direction never stopping until the transmitter is shut off. I tried soldering it back in, but one of the contacts came loose. Can someone Identify the component so I can buy a new one? It is tan, rectangular, has a small extruded square on the top, two contacts extruding on each side, and about the width of 22 gauge wire. Here's a picture:
If anyone can identify this type of component, or find a replacement, that would be great!
-Thanks

RE: Can you identify this component (from micro servo)
There's no picture posted but it sounds like the motor speed regulator transistor.
Edit: Picture displayed now but still none the wiser, sorry. The little tiny thing looks like a small surface mount resistor/capasitor from here.
