I have 2 k7000s, both were shorted at A/C causing cabinet fuse to blow. After inspecting all the power supply and having everything check out, I pulled R103 and R104 since that is where the shorts seemed to be coming from and sure enough that was it. Oh and the HOT was bad on both of these as well, plus the fuses were blown.
So my question is- how did these big suckers get opened in the first place? These are big resisters, I just am wondering how a component like this can go wrong. I don't know any history on these, I have never run these chassis before, I got them in some trade or they magically appeared in my stockpile somehow.
EDIT - I am a moron- these are 2.7ohm and 15ohm respectively. On my DMM, these will always measure open on a continuity check because of their low resistance. On an ohm check, they are measuring 3.3ohm and 15.6ohm. So these are not likely the culprit in my problem. (good because i don't have replacements anyway!)
