OK after much more google, i found out that it is an inductor.
"It's not a resistor it's an inductor hence the "L" in the silkscreen callout L32. Inductors like these are mainly for interference supression in a data line or RF interference leaking from that trace pathway. You CAN safely bypass it (short it) and the worst thing you might experience is instability in which case you can call ASUS and ask them the value for the L32 callout on that model."
so now i just need more information.
