- The component with the coil of wire is an inductor. Judging from the small size, it is probably only a few µH. There are lots of uses for inductors, like for filters, switching power supplies, tuned oscillators, and others. I would not try to guess the use from this scant information.
- The component to the left of the inductor in second picture looks to be a diode. It only has two terminals. The stripe at one end probably marks the cathode.

- Lundin has pointed out that the black component on the left is probably a tantalum cap, not a diode. In retrospect and given the markings, I agree that it is a definite possibility that I just didn't think of earlier.
