Maybe a FUSE.Hi. Labeled SP803 on the board, translucent plasticky yellowish look, surface mount, full continuity.
It is in series with backlight LEDs driven supply in a TV at around 100V. The + path marked red.

Inrush current limiter ?This is weird. There is another on the same board, labeled SP801. Connected to nowhere. Just soldered on its pads with no vias nor anything on the top side.
Picture is horrible, same part 3mm x 3mm x 2mm at center. They are not tall enough to be "Standoff, Plastic" The board uses an insulating sheet under.

Maybe Inrush current limiter for the backlight circuit or some kind of protection device for backlight circuit.The appearance is like a yellow diffuse cubical LED. Ferrite beads on the board are labeled BEP8XX. A fuse somewhere else on board is labeled FP801S
Looks like this with nothing visible inside, no leads :

By that you mean low ohms in both directions?... full continuity...
Multilayer PCB.Pads/traces going nowhere, not much inrush to limit there. An almost decent picture, holding a loupe in front of the camera :

I see large Capacitor in SMPS circuit. Fuse, MOV, line chokes, Bridge rectifier diodes, SMPS transformer,. Is this only power supply board ?Giving up. Single sided board. This is the top side. Both mystery parts are bidirectional full continuity. The unconnected one is under "eyelet size" marking left of the third '100uF' brown large electrolytic.
Thank you for your patience, fellows.
Yes. It is a Samsung TV. White connector by bottom right supplies to LED backlights. Black connector by top right supplies 13V to main board and gets PWM (brightness?) and turn-on signals and whoknows what else....Is this only power supply board ?...
Yes, the single mosfet must be for power factor correction circuit. It will be in series with the +ve rail.Looks like a power factor corrected switcher, although with only 100 uF of bulk capacitance it isn't a very big one. But the layout is weird for that, and there is only one power device. Hmmm ...
