OK, so details matter in troubleshooting as we aren't there to see it. Brevity is not helpful!
If I understand you, you have power voltage measured at the top two terminals where the red and black wires plug into the board, presumably measured by backprobing at those two terminals? And the device now shows no signs of life whatsoever, no display, no nothing?
To answer your original question, the resistor would appear to have nothing to do with the problem.
