Wargods - Board repair

[neku]

Hello guys,

I need your help.
I recently bought a non working wargods board, after probing around the board i was able to determine the custom ICs are working but the processor (TMS320C31) is not executing the first instruction.
I traced the issue back to the RDY# line not being triggered.
While searching which component is responsible to trigger the RDY# line of the CPU, i found around U15 that one resistor have been ripped off the board.

Can someone with a working board take a picture of this resistor or tell me the value written on it ?
Maybe @kinooshi823 or @ekorz ?

Thanks

I may have mentioned it here before, but with some finesse you can replace the old battery with a 2032 holder. just requires bending legs a little inward. I have a War Gods board I need to do it to, maybe I can find a better way compared to how I did it 7 years ago.

This coin battery holder seems to have the exact footprint that was planned on the PCB : https://be.farnell.com/en-BE/keystone/500/holder-battery-1-cell-12mm/dp/3029839

This exact holder could go on the war gods board with no problems?

Probably, i will order one to verify.
