As you insist, this is the actual item. The failed SMD components are not actualy visible in the photo, as they are between the 68882 socket and the ribbon connector, but they are identical to the two tiny brown/ silver components visible in the photo, immediately to the left of the 68882 socket. They both read A5.
I do not have the tripod etc. necessary to get a proper close-up; being bifocally challenged, I could only see the minute lettering with a magnifying glass.
My working hypothesis, based purely on a Google search for "SMD A5," is that they are diodes. There are maybe 12-15 of them scattered over the surface of the card, so they could hardly all be fuses.
