I killed my VC04 Pro and need help

Was trying to find a short on my motherboard and it started to smell. I left it alone and now the display always shows 4.095 like there's a constant short. Took it apart and something that was toast to the point that I don't know what it was. I assume resistor since it says R28 next to it. Anyone know what this resistor value is suppose to be? Has anyone else ran into this issue with this tool? Still says 4.095 even though I removed the resistor.

I think it's a 0hm resistor. Short it with a screwdriver and it works normal. `Makes sense since not many resistors have that many zeros. I wonder if I should replace it with another zero ohm resistor just put in a fuse? I might try 100, 200, 300, and etc to see if there's a different reaction from the device. It's funny because nothing in here makes use of the heatsink looking giant metal casing.

it is a fusistor. you can just jump it but you would have no protection. just replace for another 0ohm fusistor or something close to 0

Thanks, I'm going to put in a 0ohm resistor. Kinda stupid that shorting a device meant to be shorted would damage it.
