JRH, the part your board is missing is reference designator L8300 which is a 220ohm inductor (ferrite bead ) in a 0805 package. I believe that the '''assumption is being made''' that it is a "solder blob" to bridge a component. It is absolutely not. From your image it is very clear that you still have both the solder pads for L8300. The component is '''not a fuse''' and it is '''not''' bridged. The only reason it does not look normal, is due to the package size compared to the other components.
