    Yes, they are fine copper wires. Probably popped off mainboard yes. So what now? Can this cause the charging problem?

    The reason I repasted i because my FPS had suddenly dropped from 60 to 20FPS. My pc was also way too hot these days. So it probably popped off for overheating and caused the frames to drop? 

    So what now?

    >>>So what now?>>>

    Not much you can do except continue using the disabled laptop the way it is. A coil failure like this is usually the tip of the iceberg as far as other mainboard damage is concerned. There are dozens of these small coils and other circuits dependent on them, all soldered to the mainboard that could've also been damaged or contributed to this coil failure. Thus replacing it, if you can locate where it blew off, is unlikely to resolve all the issues. 

    While new mainboards are available, they might not be practical for this 5+ year old laptop design. So I suggest that you first take it and the coil remnants to a local laptop repair shop for an evaluation and repair estimate. While unlikely, it's remotely possible that replacing this part might resolve the issues. If not, then you can decide on whether or not you want to replace the mainboard. Sorry I can't me more optimistic.

    Thank you! I'm always stretching my laptops to their limits. 5 years shows that this was indeed a long life Acer laptop. Regards @JackE
