Hello fellow ps3 lovers. I am in need of some help trying to calculate the proper resistor needed for a replacement shown in my screenshot below. Some weeks back I had a minor de-lidding accident and borked a small resistor (It was actually one of the one's to the left of the one in the pic. It's since been replaced.)
I am not very experienced with soldering in general (or at least I wasn't at the time lol) and long story short I don't have the resistor anymore that is in this pic. This picture is actually from a working board (VER-001) that i'm using to try to compare and find the culprit. As seen in the screenshot below, the bottom side of this resistor is supposed to read 100 ohms when connected to the board so that's my end goal. I've tried several lookalikes and keep getting much higher reading in the kiloOhms and am not getting anywhere close to the 100 ohms that it's supposed to read. The pad itself reads 50 kiloOhms when the resistor is removed. I don't have a good enough of an understanding to calculate the proper resistor needed for it to read 100 Ohms when on the board. Any insight from someone who knows how to calculate this would be greatly appreciated as I've pretty much hit a wall with my level of understanding this. I have listed details in the screenshot below of what the pads read when it is removed from the board if that helps. Any help is much appreciated. I know this board is still working fine, this was one of my cleanest CPU de-liddings minus borking one resistor that led me down a rabbithole.
