You folks would be shocked at the number of PC Board "cores" that we send back to the manufacturer because of the burned SMD you can see. We are an RCA and others service center and I had a board with a burned SMD resistor that I jumped with a 1/8 watt flameproof and the set worked great, but was told to remove it, order the replacement board and make the customer wait 3 weeks for it to arrive. Not to mention the extra cost of shipping and "refurbishing" the board for some other poor guy. BTW the set had been in service about 3 months when the SMD resistor failed.
HURRUMPH!
