Unfortunately, Apple does not give any schematic diagrams out so it would be hard telling what value that component was or where you could even get one. Apple wants you to replace the logic board. I would shop around for a used one.

I don't know where you could order any parts like that--especially without knowing the part number of specs of the part.

Well is it? You just asked yourself a question that didn't make sense.
