Link doesn't seem to work. At anyrate, if you want to know what a power inductor looks like, check google images. Usually they are the parts with the copper wire coil around the base of the part, but there are also SMD power inductors that also don't outwardly have the copper coils.

Doing so you may get coil whine. Really its best they stay put if at all possible.

he is correct
some can be removed completely, once the function is identified.
why do you need to move them?

Well wanted more clearance for a screen mod but found a solution. I wonder what purpose these serve. Hmmm
