it looks like a part of the rectifier circuit. i would start with the transistor, however, there's no info - do you have a short circuit on your mains?
honestly, if you had a short in this area, you would not have any doubt about that - this is a high voltage area, any short here blows fuse or smokes pretty bad.

Probably because it is across a coil. Fixing these PSUs is a complete waste of time as failures are very often catastrophic and multiple parts and chips have burned out. Don't waste time on these unless it is a simple failure like a popped fuse because of a shorted rectifier or main cap.
