The damaged/exposed trace in the latest piccy is under the "power in" socket, which means maybe it is what shorted and took out the inductor.
Easy enough to remove the socket to see if it is damaged and see the traces underneath it.

Hi Andrew,
I soldered a piece of wire across the "terminals" where the L40 was, with no joy. No power. The controller chip looks undamaged, as does the power input plug and connections.

Pm me with a mail address and I can send it down.

That's great Brent! I will PM you. I wondered if the board blew due to my mishandling but a fellow EQ6 owner here had the same component go so maybe not
