The monitor model probably doesn't matter, this question is more general than that... But alas...
I'm replacing resistors on a Neotec S600 that decided to nuke a decent amount of parts.
The resistors I'm replacing are listed in the schematic/parts list as 1W 4.7 OHM MOF RESISTOR. Easy enough. I order a few new 1W 4.7 OHM resistors, and the new ones are significantly smaller than the old ones. This has me concerned that I did something wrong in ordering the replacement resistors.
What are the rules on substitution of styles of resistor? If I guess a resistor style wrong (wirewound vs film), are there long-term consequences? Also, I think I read that the color of the resistor casing usually doesn't matter.
Pictures:
The first picture shows the new resistors compared to the one I removed. The resistor had discolored and severely distorted its color bands.
This second picture shows a comparison between two resistors on the board (both are being replaced).
Thanks.
