I'd stick with the 470 OHMs
Beware-that's OHMs Not KOHMs as you stated in your last post.

Just raise them off the board a little and add a little high temp silicone if you feel like it.

Cheers,
Paddy

ok its been awhile but i found sometime to open this thing up. before i am to take out R57/58 i thought i check the specs of the ones on the board.


on board:
R57 measured 81.1K
R58 didnt register on the meter

new resistors:
R57 measured 81.7k.
R58 measured 99.7k

with this info in hand i believe it is R58 that is bad.

proceeding w/ replacement.
