I have two pieces in my bench right now. One was powering up fine, but the friend that handled them to me (I'm the new electronics-know-it-all of the block.... go figure...) said that it will go to a black screen after half an hour. The other one did that immediately. I opened them and both had
CapXons (1000uf 10v and 470uf 25v) bulged. I changed them and they powered up just fine. About ten minutes later, BOTH OF THEM WENT BLACK. I could hear a hiss from both of them, so I turned them off. A visual inspection showed heat around T1, but nothing was wrong until I looked down the board : three resistors of 10k in series were burned in one and there were not even present on the other (they were there before, I SAW THEM!!!!).
If I want to replace them, can I do it with just one 30k resistor? What Wattage will be adequate?
The last picture shows a trace of the path before and after the three resistors (yellow). Can I just solder a 30k resistor between the two points (red)?
