K, that thing you are pointing at is a small capacitor, ceramic surface mount type. They are probably meant to absorb high frequency EMI in the power stage. I don't think they are absolutely critical to operation, but i'm sure it takes a load off the other caps, and the FET's maybe. (high frequency is hard on components)

Don't even try replace it though. Are you sure it didn't short out on the Quark case? Unless it's a dud, which is very very rare for these types of components, these caps are made by the billions each year.

Oh, and that pick, you CAN'T unplug the controller without unplugging your fans...
