Just because it doesn't look fried, doesn't necessarily mean that it is ok. The only way to know for sure is to measure it. Use a multimeter with an Ω check, or a continuity checker. Small inductors generally measure close to 0Ω (basically a short circuit). If it measures more than say 1Ω, it is bad. Both L1 and L2 measured as shorts (0.1Ω) on my board.
