Problem with WD5000AAKS

Hi all,
I have this hdd 500GB WD5000AAKS. The drive is not recognized by my computer, but spins up. We checked it out and found a broken item on the board. But we do not know what it is: a resistor or fuse? Element numbered SK1. He did not check for continuity by multimeter. Also we didn’t find datasheet.



P.S. Sorry for my bad english.
