Yes, you know, the thingy.

If you look at the cpu, the left die, you see these little yellowish things in a circle around it. I just opened up a 360 (error code 0102) and cleaned off the stock thermal paste. Afterwards, I noticed that one of the things was missing. If you look to the right of the CPU, you can see a pair of them. The one that's missing is the top one.
I guess what I'm asking is, is this something important? I'm going to assume it's crucial to the function...if it's something cheap like a cap or mosfet, would I be able to buy another and solder it on?
This is a 2005 model, if that matters. Sorry about making a 360 thread, I'm sure there are a MILLION. The search function won'ot let me search for it since the name is so short
