Hi All,
I'm in the process of replacing the power supply socket on a Asus eee pc 904HD netbook, which is ordinarily quite a straight forward thing to do. However this netbook came to me looking like it had been dropped on it's side, the power socket was stuffed right back into it's hole and the socket itself broken. Not only that but a tiny SMD resistor behind the socket had been ripped off it's joints too.
Luckily I found the resistor rattling around inside the netbook (pictured) but this is where I'm stuck, as I don't know what the resistor is as I've no idea what value it is, and I can't test it as it's damaged and has no ends. There are similar looking resistors on the motherboard but they're all different values.
I've had a go at trying to solder the resistor back on but it's futile without it's factory soldered ends. I've also had a google for a schematic on this netbook but I'm not having much luck

Any advise on what I could try here please guys?
The resistor goes here, right behind the power jack socket.

The tiny SMD resistor on the right is the one I can't value or refit.
