if you are handy with a soldering iron pull the board remove the resistors and replace them with equal resistence

yep, but the thing is im not sure how to find there resistance since they kinda *Poofed* ... would they be the same as the rest of the resistors on the board ?

Send an email to mtx@mtx.com

Tell them what amp it's from, the board and board rev and then what board slots it came from. I did this with my old MTX 2300x and they got back very quickly with everything I needed.

Once you find out what you need, head to http://www.mouser.com to find the part.

yea i tried emailing them but im missing 4 resistors and i can only read 2 of the numbers, but they are in pairs (like a main and then a secondary attached) i dont know why they didnt put 1 resistor equal to the 2 or it might be more complicated then that

but thanks for the mouser link. i needed that

If you take a picture that is readable and send it to them, they may be able to help. Don't forget to include the board name and rev as it is needed in locating the part on the schematic.

Pictures like this really help:

call mtx and ask them to look up the part # for those spots (the board has each spot labeled with a letter and a bumber). then look those parts up online, order them, and solder. that OR pay like $95 + ship and send it back to mtx
