Thanks for looking that up! You may be right as that doesn't look that different from a new inductor. What came off was a small bit of plastic, but the wires appear attached.
This evening I'll do a continuity check with my multimeter and if it's good I will continue.
Dang. Not sure how I missed this convo.
I covered the breaking of the power connectors in my videos. Luckily I had a locking hemostat which did the trick getting the pieces out.
I kept my stock 08 screen but don’t think it would plug and play into a 2010. As mentioned, @Sean W can answer that properly.
Definitely let us know if that component functioned without its plastic cover!
Here it is… (It is connected to both sides, but it does move about a bit... EDITED: There's no continuity between the two raised solder pieces that the wires are attached to. And now the piece is not attached.
Thanks to Sean W.'s help, I've found a replacement screen assembly and have ordered it. While a person with really good soldering skills could probably resolder either that piece or the inductor replacement piece which is really inexpensive, a person with my soldering skills could not.
Update:
I ordered a screen from ebay and it came in. I put the car back to stock and I plugged it in. The screen blinks off and on for about 20 seconds and goes dark. Bad screen or something else?
can't say for certain but it is behaving that way. Anything else in the fiber optic loop disconnected?
No, I reconnected up the AUU to make sure I was getting it back to stock. I don't know of anything else disconnected, but I will check tomorrow when I can get back to it. I mean, technically, I just need the video board from it as the rest of my screen assembly worked fine, but it could be the video board at fault so I don't know, though I would think it would more likely be some kind of power issue.
Ok, I ran diagnostics on my car. This is what I turned up concerning infotainment issues:
================================================== ======================
Seeing this, I checked each MOST ring component from the front to the rear of the car to see if it was getting the red light. The light is supplied to the fiber optic cable running the MOST network from the Navigation Multimedia Control Module located right above the ACM. I went to each component and took off the fiber optic cable and verified each component is getting a fiber optic signal. Now, I'm aware the telephone module may be bad, but the unit with the original screen has worked for months without a working telephone module connection. From this review, I believe it is the replacement touch screen assembly that is bad, although I welcome feedback from folks who know this a lot more than I do.
BTW I found what appears to be an extra power connector out in the boot as I was tracing the MOST network. The connector looks just like a speaker connector. Nothing is missing a power connector as far as I see. Any help here would be great as well.
Your Mr. 12 volt kit comes with an optic bypass connector. Use it to diagnose which module is bad. Trunk stack is the easiest, then the center stack. By pass one at a time leave your AUU connected. If it were me, I'd return the touchscreen and get another before doing anything else. You didn't have the problem before the new screen.

I think you're right. A new problem is likely caused by a new addition to the system.
Ok I opened up the screen assembly that lights up but flashes and goes out. I now have a look at the inductor as whole piece. My next experiment is to take the video board from the flashing screen and place it in the screen assembly I had and see if it works.
