Burnt resistor MSI B550 Tomahawk Max

[baas62]

Hello everyone

I have an MSI B550 Tomahawk Max Wi-Fi motherboard that has burned out components. See photos below.

I tested the rest of the board, and everything seems to be working properly and stable. I tested it in-game with a 1650 GPU, just in case, and in Cinebench.

I didn't install an NVME SSD on the first port but only a sata 6gb classic 2.5 inch ssd

I checked the warranty on the MSI website, and the board is still under warranty until May 2026, but unfortunately I don't have the receipt to request an RMA.

Is there anyone who knows who could confirm what theese components are for, whether they can be repaired, and whether there is a security risk in using it this way?

Thanks.

Thanks noname2024.

What are theese resistors on the motherboard for? What exactly does it control?

i think you're new in this job, let me correct, that component you point is not resistor, that is capasitor, they filtering main power 12V before enter into ic, you can open the boardview
you can remove that capasitor was broke, or replace it if you have, and dont forget make sure doesnt short in that way after your remove or replace capacitor,

Thx for your help. there are 2 dead capicitors : the main we can see on my photo et a second one much smaller on his left.

i have removed them with a soldering iron set ti 15w and i hope nothing has been damaged on the pcb, could you confirm ?

I need now to find the correct capcitor reference for both.

How can i open the board view ?

I usually take Capacitor from another board, if you dont know how to check the capacity of capacitor, you can take it from same area on the board, for test you can turn on your motherboard and ignore broke capacitor, I don't think it will make much of a difference for the time being, until we make sure the machine is running normally, if you want to replace the capacitor then that's better.
