Did you happen to take detailed pictures? If so please post em so if others
run into this problem they can find your solution.

I didn't take that many pictures at first, but I just finished gutting my MP again and took a bunch of pictures to help out, did you want me to post them here?

You're right about that.. it looked really grey... the shell of the old resistor actually crumbled on me when I de-soldered and tried to take it out.. lol

Tape! It's been a minute talking to you too! I hope you're doing well... I'm really glad to see that you're still up on here too.

Persistance pays off! I had to make use of my summer break haha. I couldn't have done it without the people in this forum though. I'm grateful for that.
