Any Electronics guys know what component this is?

judging by the print on the board. c47 the c stands for capacitor. But i have never seen one like that before???

bob.
 
It's hard to tell from the picture. But it looks like an inductor. Most of the time the are used in conjunction with a capacitor to create a filter.
 
Y2 = crystal or oscillator

It's a Y2. so thats a Crystal or Oscillator.. ok.

The board is actually an old Apex lite I have. The ethernet port is not working so I figured I would open it up and see if any thing stood out. This is a picture of a good one. My Y2 looks crusty, like it got fried, so I was thinking it could be the culprit.
 
ALl electronics like this work via the theory of blue smoke. When the blue smoke escapes the components, it's shot!
