14.318MHz Crystal (Resonator?)

This is probably a 14.318MHz crystal resonator, but I was unable to find any data on it other than that it was made by KDS in Taiwan.

 

From what I can find oscillators tend to have other components like ICs inside them, but I do not see any wiring which would indicate there is anything else in this package, so I would guess this is a resonator.

 

It has 4 solder pads and is from an old Dell laptop.

 

Lighting this up was surprisingly hard since the metallurgical lamp from my scope was not able to provide enough light on it's own. I ended up using the small LED I have taped to my 5X objective (intended for observing CPUs) in conjunction with the built-in lamp.
