PCB is 810082

PCB has been converted to SATA, 4 caps have been removed. Does anyone know which component they think the oscillator is on this particular PCB and if its removal is required for this model?
I'm thinking its to the right of the JM controller, as does TS, but this one looks quite different than usual.

Picture is of original state of PCB.
Thanks in advance.

Hi osity,

The Y2 should be the one you looking for ( I Guess), but I don't think it is necessary to remove it , since we dont use the USB to transfer data, and cut it's input to the sata interface you just soldered.

That one does have the right designator...

I can't remember the last time I removed the oscillator on PCBs when converting USB to SATA and I haven't had any issues. I don't believe it's necessary for any models from the past 10 years.

Just recovered BFlite2 today. No need to remove anything else than 4 capacitors.

Good to know, SGdata. Thanks for the insight.
