Yes,I made a closeup and nothing looks like that number,please say me,what is E96 or E196.
It is linked to the pin 1 of Q1 that is a mosfet P12nm50
So its attached to the gate of an N channel Mosfet.
2k does seem an unusual value to me. Not sure if it in series or a shunt from the gate to the source.
Have a look what resistor is in a similar position in regards to Q3.
It may be in parallel with
Q3 Q2 in which case they should have similar gate topologies, including resistor values. (as part of PFC?)
Also look for shorts on all the semiconductors nearby.
edit: meant q2 but third semi from left on heatsink.
