  Just so you know, as an inductor is just a small coil of copper, the resistivity might be low enough to trigger the beeping on the multimeter! So maybe it’s not dead. I’ve seen a lot of burned down inductor and trust me it looks way worse.

  If your multimeter can measure resistance in miliHoms, you should be able to measure at least ~10mR or more (that order of magnitude) Note that measuring a circuit like so is not guaranteed since there’s other stuff on a PCB that gets measured at the same time.

  Did you remove the motherboard and looked at the other side?

  If you’re not really into the civilization series, I would always wait when the game has a huge sale.

  I started with Civ5 during a 10$ sale with all expansions, 200 Hours. As a treat I bought Civ6 on launch, which while slightly barebone (all civ games are on launch) was really fun, and after buying the expansions and a couple DLC I got 500h on it so clearly a good investment.

  I would put Civ6 and Civ7 in your wishlist to get notified when there’s a sale, and see if you like it or not after the fact.

  The current reviews for 7 are mostly about the UI and the limited selection of civs to choose, also for some reason some players can’t bare the idea of stopping the game at the cold war just before the moon landing.
