Often times it is easier to have a brand new resistor on hand - -
then the old one can just be clipped rather than removed and reused.
Also note that the new one does not have to be a surface mount package - there looks
to be plenty of board room for a tiny, leaded, resistor - with a spot of hot glue for body support.
Just don't go wild with the lead length, there is a high frequency signal at this point.
Even so, having the proper sized tools is a "must have" for this job.
(Plus great eyesight, a steady hand, nerves of steel if this is your first job . . . . ) |
